Koslowski book(s) & translation

[Refael Hdr.]

OK great!

So if I understood it right, the translation is not another edition, but it contains only the text of the Koslowski's book and if I want the pictures too (which I do of course ) I need the original book either, am I right?

-And by the way, it is "Refael" as I wrote it (pronounced RE-FA-EL) :wink: ...

Thanks a lot,

 

[Mike Wise]

Refael, I apologize for getting your name wrong. I won't do it again (at least I'll try:redface.

You are correct. My English translation does not have any photos, but only text.

I am amazed at how quickly the sets have sold. I ordered 30 copies of Koslowski's book, which arrived about 10 days ago. All but 2 copies are sold or reserved. I plan to buy more this weekend, but they probably won't arrive until early in January. I do have a fair quantity of the DATZ special publication "South American Dwarf Cichlids" that I can sell with the Koslowski translation. It's not quite the same, but ...

Thanks again Mike,

Got my translation package today, it is awesome! Thanks for all the hard work getting it into English Mike!

I am currently reading it and I really love it. I am grateful to Mike for provinding this unique translation - and for sending me a copy! :wink:

The 3 books have just landed in the Holy Land and they are all so great!
Mike's translation is absolutely fantastic! very accurate and edited in a convenient way to look at.
A huge thanks for Mike, I really appreciate all of your hard work and bother. Thanks a lot dear friend...

Be careful!!! Mike's translation keeps getting me into trouble. It seems that the only time the wife wants to talkabout anything is when I am reading it.

It is great work.

 

[Refael Hdr.]

I don't have this problem, yet :wink: ...

Have you still got the translation? Since I'm looking for these books and an English translation would be great for further understanding.

(I know I'm 7 years too late, but I hope you've still got some)

 

[Mike Wise]

I can provide the translations but not the books. The latest book, "Die Buntbarsche Amerikas, Band 2: Apistogramma and Co." is still available from Verlag Eugen Ulmer GmbH (http://www.ulmer.de/pdb/pdb.dll/PDB...3EBC46703FB0BCB2BB053DFD2080DEC9704780A56DC7F). The older book, Die Buntbarsche der Neuen Welt: Zwergcichliden", is not. Anyone who can prove they own the original book can still get translations from me.

Die Zwergcichliden Südamerikas by Werner Schmettkamp, 1982 (out of print)
Die Buntbarsche der Neuen Welt: Zwergcichliden by Ingo Koslowski, 1986 (out of print)
Die Buntbarsche Amerikas Band 2: Apistogramma & Co. by Ingo Koslowski, 2002 (still in print)

Yes, those are the books. If you have them, why do you need the ISBNs?

 

[mematrix]

There is something good books about Apistos in Italian?

 

[Mike Wise]

I'm not positive, but I believe Römer's 'Cichlid Atlas 1' was printed in several languages including Italian.

Oh By btw what do you know about this book its Japanese i believe

This is Matzusaka's book and yes I have a copy of it. It is fairly complete (for 1996) and includes photosof unusual populations of species . It is all in Japanese except the scientific names, which are in Latin/Greek. The book has some of the best apisto photos anywhere. It's worth owning just for the pictures.
