Best Pleco Book?

Looking for a good book on plecos.

A quick search yielded these two:

Loricariidae, All L-Numbers (second edition) http://www.amazon.com/Aqualog-Loricariidae-L-Numbers-2nd-Edition/dp/393602751X

All L-Numbers: Habitat, Care & Diet http://www.amazon.com/All-Numbers-Habitat-Care-Diet/dp/3800109107

Also seen this one before (from Cichlid Press):

Back to Nature: Guide to L-Catfishes (Loricariidae) http://www.amazon.com/Back-Nature-Guide-L-Catfishes-Loricariidae/dp/9189258118/ref=pd_sim_b_1

Anyone have either of the first two? How do they stack up? I'm not opposed to getting more than one, but they are sort of pricey and would prefer to not waste money if one is much more comprehensive than the others.

Thanks in advance. :)

I haven't read either of the first two but have the Back to Nature book if you want to take a flip through it.

Thanks guys. I had heard about the DATZ book (All L-Numbers: Habitat, Care & Diet) before and wanted to pick it up a while back, but it was always too expensive. Found a great deal on a used copy last night and picked it up.

Jon - mind if I check out the Cichlid Press book?

Once I get the DATZ book in the mail, I post a follow-up.

Thanks fellas.

Datz book/magazine is awesome too; it shares one of the authors (Ingo Seidel) with the Back to Nature book. I have both... The Back to Nature book has a bit more info than the Datz book on each fish.
