Good African Cichlid Books?

[monahan95]

Does anyone know any good books about african cichlids? Ideally I would like a book that contains all the different species from the 3 lakes but any book I've found of that nature costs a minimum of £150 

Does anybody know of any good books that cost around £30?

If you want a book that contains more or less every cichlid in picture form, both male and female, then this is the one;

Malawi Cichlids in their Natural Habitat, New 4th Edition
http/www.amazon.co.uk/Malawi-Cichlids-Natural-Habitat-Edition/dp/1932892052/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1398761372&sr=8-2&keywords=ad+konings
 
However, this book is relatively light on information and is more an identification guide than anything else.

As mentioned above, this book has a lot more information but not as many species covered. It however, is highly recommended;
