Chris, you the man! I like the book but it was slagged in reviews by some
professional fish people because of various errors as mentioned below; some
people would quibble even further with the dichotomous keys for various fish
groups. But, this is an election year, and I'm glad that Governor Siegelman
had the wit to put an official letter in the volume(!). In truth I haven't
seen this second edition/printing yet.
