Good Reference Or Is Internet Better?

So I was looking through my books and came across this

15482076370279139566992452425907.jpg
It has everything for almost every freshwater fish people can get. pH, hardness, temp, tank size, fish size, schooling size, tankmates, etc. Even stuff like telling you what disease your fish has and how to treat it based on the symptoms. There are fish I haven't even heard of before. How to breed any type of fish (almost). How to set up your tank and what the best fertilizers are. I can't even list out everything because there is so much. My question is though, is it really that cool anymore? Since we have the internet we can find the answers for everything with a search.

But on a more serious note, probably some good info in there! Depending when it was published, some stuff might be outdated due to science and products over the years, but probably a better place to start than a lot of places on the internet.

Most of it seems pretty similar to what we have now. I can't tell what the printing date is but I'm gonna guess around 1998

I concur with what’s been already stated. Probably a lot of good info to glean from that book and a nice one stop reference to get started on a particular topic. Also, too often information gets lost/forgotten with new publications or on the internet.

So if you’re interested in selling it, I’m interested in buying it

Books are IMO definitely a better source of info.
It works if you know how to use it lol
Some times my head hurts but I can just close it and try later !
Besides contact with people my best info comes from books some not so cheap or new .
So if you’re interested in selling it, I’m interested in buying it
I like your style !
No its mine. >: )
Who would have thought there would be interest huh ? Wise move IMO.
Some of my books go back to the 50's I think? When I see an old I just want it for what it is if not what it has .
