I own King's 2 previous books and have used them for years to help me ID things spotted on dive and snorkel trips (also have Two Oceans). This new volume combined those and adds a few new groups (Cephalopods, crustaceans). It also includes a lot more fish species (the original volumes only covered "common" species). This is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in marine species in S & E coasts of Africa. Highly recommended.
