Now available at Seacliff and Natural Bridges is Milton Love’s book,Certainly More Than You Wanted to Know About the Fishes of the Pacific Coast. "Absolutely hilarious" and "authoritative text" are not phrases that are commonly linked, but Love's book is both. There are enough facts in "CMTYWTKAFPC" to satisfy the geekiest fish fan. But they're presented in a style that veers from the professorial to the surreally ridiculous in the blink of an eye. – L.A. Times
