As a writer and author it makes me so happy that people still love physical printed books.
Books are amazing
Especially the Holy Bible 😉✝️
I love books too 😊
Eventually donated most of my books to the local library, but I couldn't part ways with anything aquarium related. Felt the same way about my Calvin & Hobbes collection. Don't judge, they're hilarious...
C&H is The best!
They really are aren't they?
Thank you, I enjoyed this. Please, please do more of these Coffee and Books segments. I too feel that computers are no replacement for books. I am interested in finding out where good aquarium books are found beyond what Amazon's algorithms show you. A couple months ago, I picked up a copy of your book "The 101 Best Freshwater Nano Species" and I love it. I carry it with me when I go to the aquarium store to check out their inventory and "imagine the possibilities". Now you've got me thinking about that book on the Orinoco basin.
The only book o found with this title was written by Mark Denaro. Does Rachel have one out also?
Co authored. We wrote it together
A book review series would be awesome
I enjoy the smell of a good old book too....you can't get from reading on a computer screen ....have a great weekend ! ,😊💜🌼
Completely agree. Something about sitting in a cozy spot with a book in your lap turning pages that a phone or computer screen just can't touch.
Hey! I've got that Fishes in the Orinoco book too. The photography is amazing! Mikolji's youtube channel is also really awesome.
I've got the bichir handbook and it really is excellent, I'm planning on getting Mr Mikoljis book for my wifes birthday hopefully
It simply refreshing to see someone quoting valid literature, rather then regurgitating junk off social media.
I release my books (novels, poetry, whatever else) POD, and ebooks. I love to hold books too. I'm one of those people who fall asleep with books. Those two you got there look good.
That jumper has the Freddie Kruegers about it Rachael lol....
I love this. I have been on an aquarium book buying binge as of late. Not only new books, but books from the 40’s and 50’s have been brought into the binge. Our hobby has changed a lot .
Is there like a list of recommended books online?
Coffee and book reviews, 2 of my favorite things. More please.
👍💓👍
The only people who say print is dead are people who never bought books to begin with. The rest of us still love and appreciate them.
I have over a dozen aquarium related books that I've had since high school in the early 80s. They're great for when the power goes out. 😃
Print will never really die. I just bought the Bichir Handbook, waiting for delivery. Would be cool to get a large fine art print of the poster included in the Bichir Handbook. I'm gonna have to get Fishes of the Orinoco in the Wild book now too. Would love it if you did some more book reviews. Cheers Rachel. ;)
Hi, I may be able to make this happen. I work in a design studio where we run out a lot of museum quality fine art prints on Hahnemühle paper and other stock. If you're interested, pop me an email at thebichirhandbook @ gmail . com (no spaces). All the best :)
@@JoshsFish Thst would be Awesome!!!
Didn't realise you had picked up The Bichir Handbook, thanks for buying Rachel, hope you're enjoying it!
I love it!
Ahhh books I think kids nowadays will never experience the smell of the new book. Will definitely check those books.
I enjoyed the chat. Thanks Rachel.
I have 8 books on Tanganyika fish. When I started in the hobby, DARPA had started the internet. Love what you said about books and please do a series. Still searching for some oop tomes.
hadn't yet started the internet.
You know I think you could do a species spotlight cards and sell them in Pack's like 10 in each with a picture and info like two where they are from and how big they get and so xx
i have recently bought the ,the bichir handbook it is one of my favourite books to read
Niice, I think I'm gona try and get the book on bichirs. I'm in love with those tiny dinosaurs! Books on reference or research or instruction or novels I still collect and use all. Nothing beats the info in a Bently vw manual. Or the image of art lol or comics.
My favorite novel has to be flint the king
I’d love more videos like this. I’m curious if you have any thoughts on Diana Walstads book, Ecology of the Planted Aquarium.
A books and coffee episode every other month or monthly would be amazing. I love print books. I love the look and crisp feel of a new book and the nostalgic smell of an old and well read and worn specimen. I think it will definitely be a niche within your channel, but those of us who like it would be thrilled!! Maybe include good magazine articles and journal/research articles that you stumble upon as well?
Absolutely loved this Rachel !! 👍
Enjoy honest open opinions, and reviews. Thanks. 😎✌️
I want to buy the book on bichir fish, need link or websites, Thank You 😊
Its in the video description
I’m Pro Hard Copy, absolutely love my books. Wished I could find more books on the Aquarium hobby.
Yes, I'd be interested in more content like this (I'm also a "printed book" person). It's difficult to navigate in the jungle of books. I bought a book called "Aquarian Atlas" by Dr. Rüdiger Riehl and Hans A. Baensch and the content, knowledge and ambition were there, but I could hardly read it, because the translation into Swedish was just awful. Google translate would have done a better job. The book isn't cheap, so I don't get why they didn't take the translation seriously. So yes, if you'd guide people like me, I'd be ever so grateful!
Speaking of books, do you have the latest 'Breeders 'n' Keepers' (vol 3.)? Mine should arrive next week. Can't wait.
I too am an avid collector of aquarium books, as a matter of fact I'm saving up to get Christel Kasselmann's new edition of her Aquarium Plants book, even though I have her older editions already! Thanks for sharing Rachel, hoping for more coffee and books!
This was great; I would love a series! I think I might have to get that Orinoco book.... Do you have books you've encountered that were similar for other geographic regions that you have found useful and would recommend? I know for example you've put a *ton* of work into the hillstream tank, which has a bunch of southeast and east asian species--did you encounter any awesome print resources while researching that tank that helped you decide on plant choices, stocking choices, etc?
I love books. Fiction, non fiction it doesn't matter. I recently purchased your book on Amazon. Listing said like new but if Amazon had used common sense to box it, then it would have been new condition haha. It is a great little book by the way. Really love the page thickness, photos of the fish- the shrimp look amazing, and it's incredible how much information is packed between the cover. I know most viewers aren't into the science or book discussions or anything remotely educational, but I am one of the few who does enjoy that kind of content. Product peeks are nice. It spreads the word and gives us an idea of the quality. Thank you for another wonderful video.
I also do like physical books much better than digital, esp. with such nice photographs. Thanks for this video.
Love to have a few physical books laying around! They are super informative, make for great conversation starters and are nice to look at
I feel this soo much and have books/guides on just about every hobby I partake in! It's just reassuring to have a hard copy resource of information to fall back on rather than having to cross reference the results of several searches or forum replies. Now if only I could get my hands on those 100+ dollar bromeliad books...
Physical media forever! Vinyl records, books in print, all better than the digital versions!
👍 on coffee & books. I love books. It sure is better to read than burn my retinas staring at a screen for hours. A paper book doesn't run out of batteries & you can bring them with you everywhere. I find them easier to bookmark & underline to mark information of special interest. This is a great idea.
I am with you... I truly love the feel of books. I just can not get into reading for an E reader.
I do love this video. I feel fish look best and behave best when you consider their natural habitat. Side note: we took our kids out to explore some small waterways and took binoculars to observe the fish from a distance. Everyone was so intrigued! I got the idea from your videos and interviews where you’ve talked about more exploring in waterways both local and abroad. So thank you for an awesome way to spend time with my kids and teach them how nature is different when you aren’t in the way. You should know you’re making a difference through RUclips.
There really is something magical in books. Great books
Absolutely love books, it takes time, dedication and passion to write something. I hate having to sift through garbage information online written by people who regurgitate information they deem correct. So yes maybe do more book reviews.
I've always preferred books to digital media...
I have a fair stack of books on fish and aquascaping now but can honestly say your nano fish book is getting the most use. Coffee table size books are great but the field guide format is so useful. It’s always in my pocket whenever I go to a lfs, sometimes just to have something nice to pore over while waiting for appointments or on the train. 👌👌👌
A little embarrassed to admit this, but I initially thought that "The Bicher Handbook" had a different B-word in the title!
Great idea we as aquarists need to support and foster real information.Not the latest gadget or coolest purchase. Doc BC
Ah yes I love looking at the pictures and flipping the pages. It’s like a personal collection with memories. I’m 15 and I still enjoy books irl.
Agree about books. Digital Will never compare real books
As always Rachel thank you very much for sharing look like some very good books I'd love to hear about any books you'd like to recommend on the hobby
I love this coffee and books video! Please do more! ❤️ I am relatively new to the hobby, but far prefer a printed book to endless internet searches. It’s also a good way for me to get my toddler involved since he loves books and we are trying to reduce screen time ❤️
Books contain a lot of accurate information, as personally experienced and studied by the authors. None of this "copy & paste" that you see all over the internet.
Thank you for reviewing these physical books. My godson, he's 9, loves books and I am always looking for new ones for his growing fish library.
He really loves learning and seeing their natural habitat and origins, not just about them as pets or a hobby which is what most books I am finding.
I do like to collect good non-fiction books on hobbies and such! I find that I return to them over and over to check or refresh your memory on various facts.
I am a pessimist - we may not always have the internet. Books are not just still relevant, but critical.
Digital is good and convenient and all, but, like music i like having a physical copy in my hands.
I am a book person also. Have tons of books and am not in to the digital at all. Love to touch and feel as well as collect books. Thanks for sharing these cool books. 🤓
Thank you for sharing this Empress 👑 💪
I got a cool book on aquarium plants today at my LFC tailgate sale.
I love my sailing and open water books
Love the books you have collaborated on as well!
Lovely messages 💚🙌
yes- please do more book reviews and/or previews.
books aren't always possible for people sometimes especially people with dyslexia. which is why people like yourself are so valuable in sharing your knowledge in video. nowadays anyone can make a video and claim to have knowledge which is why I would always recommend your channel. so thank you for shining you light and hope the good you do comes back to you tenfold.
Hi Craig, I'm dyslexic too and understand where you're coming from! I wrote and designed The Bichir Handbook, and also designed Fishes of the Orinoco in the Wild, so know the struggle with dyslexia and books. I actually created both with a consideration of dyslexia!
In the bichir book, I keep things to the point and take an almost infographic approach, keeping important pieces of information within easy-to-read graphics. I keep things visual throughout, big blocks of text can be intimidating and are hard to focus on! I had a similar approach with Ivan's, treating it more like an art gallery than a book, text is minimal, it's the images which take the stage.
I agree, Rachel does an amazing job at conveying great information, but definitely don't write off books, there are so many amazing dyslexic-friendly ones out there! :)
Another vote here for more books!
Thank you!
I want this book on the Orinoco river! I have Orinoco altums and want fishes natural to that area. 😍👍
You can get it on Amazon.com or at mikolji.com
@@Mikolji thank you! It’s quite expensive 😳 it’s on my list, but not at the top...YET 😉
At $35 the Bichir Handbook seems like a real bargain. The Orinoco book at $125 is definitely overpriced. Ivan must value himself highly, LOL. Books are obsolete as far as I am concerned. Hauled around books for many years and am so glad I can have all the reading I desire in the palm of my hand! I much prefer the 21st century. In deepest gratitude for technology, I will pass on any more books. (And have been for over a decade, got my Masters Degree and never bought a book! Yes, we are truly in the age of abundance.)
I did the design and production for Ivan's book and it was expensive to print haha: 400 pages, large format with thick, silk coated paper, H&T bands with an antiscuff lam jacket. The pandemic also doubled shipping rates since last April, and I believe most of the postage was covered in the cover price. Ivan isn't making a lot of money from the book, he wanted the book to be as affordable as possible for what it is. While the book is understandably still a lot of money, production-wise it's great value, especially if this is the type of book you're after!
@@JoshsFish Obviously it is not.
I love books!
💚
Yes! More coffee and books! I am looking for a beautiful book to put on the coffee table in my livingroom. Also, I just ordered one of your t-shirts! You'll be represented here in Cincinnati OH!
Yes! I much prefer books over digital. Something special about having the physical book in your hands. Would love a book series of videos!!
Are you still a fan of sera flakes for Nano fish?
i like the onip in particular
didn't you have some published? it be nice for some links to your hardbacks.
I did, but they are out of print and way overpriced
@@RachelOLeary :( i guess i can't add you to my collection sadly :( :(
@@RachelOLeary Mad respect
Great change of pace for the channel! Would definitely like more coffee and book videos! Thank you!
Future coffee and books sounds delicious!! Yes please please please! I still adore my books and have several on fish/plants but want to add to my collection. I wrote these down on my list I just started in hopes for future episodes😍🤩
Thoroughly enjoyed this today. You can't beat holding a book in your hands. I have Ivan's book and agree that it is a fantastic read, with lots of great information. Keep up the good work ☺️
good to see your face Rachel :)
