Ken Schultz's Field Guide to Saltwater Fish Paperback – Illustrated, 15 Jan. 2004

Informative

My 10 year old son appreciated this book for his Birthday as he wanted to find outwhat he had been catching/seeing down in Wales.

This book is only of academic value in the UK, and probably the rest of the EU. It has an entirely American slant, covering species only found in US waters. A few species are found on both sides of the pond, but this book is really of no use to the UK fisherman or rock-pooler.

As previously stated, this is an American guide, and even when they do mention fish that you might find in British waters, they often have American names (e.g. Angler fish (or Monkfish) they call a Goose fish).Really no use for British waters. I too will be returning my copy for a refund.

UK buyers should note that this is very much an American book. Very little, if any, attention is paid to UK/European species.The illustrations are a bit basic too, which in an identification guide is not a good thing.I returned mine for a refund.

I wish that I had read the reviews before I purchased the book. I mistakenly assumed that this book was for UK waters but it was a North American guide. I too will be returning for a refund.
