Re: compiling reference list for ASG website

[Mike & Diane Wise <apistowise@bewellnet.com>]

Bob,

It looks like I'll have to update my 800+ entry data base bibliography of dwarf
cichlid references. I must have 50 or more to add since last year. It may sound
impressive, but you obviously haven't seen Römer's bibliography in his atlas - at
least 1500 entries! BTW I supply photocopies of these references to ASG members
on a cost + shipping basis. If you want more than 10 or 20 pages, then you have
to pay for my time and expenses, too ($100/hr seems reasonable).
