Gerald Jennings of Calypso.org is having to sell and dispose of his vast library.
A COMPLETE fish and ichthyology library containing well over 200 books on fishes, fish identification and tropical fish keeping in addition to all types of charts, guides and encyclopaedias and dictionaries of fishes –most are hardback.
A range of sought-after FAO species guides and iD works .Dozens of Aquarist and Pondkeeper and PetFish monthly journals form 1960’s and 70’s
In total this collection occupies over 15 large plastic storage crates and is very heavy – so prospective purchasers will need transportation to collect
Illness has caused this sale – so no timewasters – the whole library has to go.
Serious enquiries will be answered. Will consider splitting the consignment for a good offer. Happy to inform on the odd title but don’task for a list.Original value well over £1,400.00
All titles and descriptions can be viewed on www.calypso.org.uk/Bookshop
(Shipping in the UK would cost about £75.00)
Gerald has just given me permission to publish his `phone number in the UK it is:- 0207 281 4948

Each issue became 16 pages from July 1924 and in August it was retitled as The Amateur Aquarist and Reptilian Review.

Frank Austin Watson Editor Frank Austin Watson(1903-1942) took over as editor. In 1941 the offices and printing works were destroyed by bombing. With the shortage of paper, readers, advertisers and staff, publication was suspended. Watson died in 1942, as a result of injuries sustained during Civil Defence duties.
8Alec Fraser-Brunner Editor from the Revival of A&P after WWII in 1948
Left the edditorship in August 1948, he was also at that time ab President of East London Aquarist & Pondkeepers Society. His career included work with theColonial Office, the Food and Agriculture Organization , and as the curator of the Van Kleef Aquarium in Singapore [3] and the aquarium atEdinburgh Zoo . [2] Amongst his written works is Cussons Book of Tropical Fishes , published as result of Manchester industrialist Alexander Tom Cussons ' interest in tropical fish . Cussons had a keen interest in orchids. The hot-houses in which he grew them proved to be well-suited to tropical fish aquariums . [7]
Alec Frederick Fraser-Brunner is the designer of Singapore's iconic national symbol, the Merlion . The Merlion was originally designed for the Singapore Tourism Board as their logo in 1964. It went on to be sculpted by Mr Lim Nang Seng and completed in 1972. It now sits at Merlion Park in Marina Bay.

Editor Lawrence. E. Perkins (from February 1966) Lawrence E. Perkins became editor from the February 1966 edition. He had appeared in the magazine earlier mainly as a photographer but also as an author. From the index of births, marriages and deaths, it is probable that he is Lawrence Edgar Perkins (1915-1987). His photographs often illustrated articles by his brother, Norman E. Perkins; there is a Norman E Perkins born in 1914 and died in 1966
