ЛИТЕРАТУРА

Список книг и журналов, приведённый ниже, далеко не является исчерпывающим, а кроме того, постоянно публикуются новые книги. Разумный подход к выбору дополнительной литературы – брать на время книги в публичных библиотеках (или у других аквариумистов), а затем покупать те из них, которые, как вы считаете, будут представлять для вас интерес или которыми вы будете постоянно пользоваться. В большинстве хороших книг содержится библиография, которая может оказаться полезным источником дальнейшего дополнительного чтения.

В аквариумных магазинах и зоомагазинах предлагается на продажу довольно ограниченный набор книг. Возможно, вам придётся специально заказывать книги в большом книжном магазине или по почте.
