please suggest a good beginner coral book

I am considering turing my FOWLR tank into a mixed reef later this year and I want to do some heavy reading beforehand. I'm mostly interested in keeping mushrooms, a bubble coral, and a frogspawn. What good, easy to use books would you suggest?

Aquarium Corals by Eric Borneman and/or Corals: A Quick Reference Guide By Julian Sprung would be good places to start.

Ditto on the 2 books. When you get more advanced, Eric also has an "everything you ever wanted to know about a coral and many things you never knew were out there" book as well.
