What do you guys think of Dr. Burgess' Marine Mini Atlas?

I am buying these 2:

Marine Fishes: 500+ Essential-To-Know Aquarium Species (The Pocketexpert Guide Series for Aquarists and Underwater Naturalists

and

A PocketExpert Guide to Marine Invertebrates: 500+ Essential-to-Know Aquarium Species

Would the Burgess book be a good addtion also, or would be be redundant with the above?

I just recently purchased both of them also and think they are pretty good ... helped me identify some stuff and has given me ideas what fish to get when that time comes along .. my pal is a marine biologist and does reef tanks and said they are very good also. Good luck ...

I have them both and I think they helped me out.

2 people so far said they love "Both" books, but there are 3 listed in my original post.

I need to know about the Mini Atlas book, compared to the other 2 listed.

I have not seen the Mini Atlas (don't even know about it) but will check it out ... was at an Aquarium store tonight and he had both on a table for customers to reference (as well as ones for sale) ...

From what I could find out, it doesnt have any actual text on the fish, just symbols that give you the basics like reef safe, food type, aggressive traights, ect. So I'll stick with the 2 I am planning on ordering.
