Review
"Provides a wealth of information on eastern North American freshwater fishes as would be expected from someone whose ichthyological legacy includes E. Raney, R. Suttkus, and R. Bailey."--Bruce A. Thompson, Coastal Fisheries Institute, Center for Coastal, Energy, and Environmental Resources, Louisiana State University, Copeia, 1996, No. 1
"Until C. Lavett Smith published Fish Watching, good fish books were as scarce as unicorns. . . . An emeritus curator of herpetology and ichthyology at the American Museum of Natural History, Smith crafted Fish Watching as a book about fishes. Not about catching them. Not about keeping them. Not about cooking them. Just about them. . . . The result is a most pleasant and surprising work of natural history writing devoted solely to fishes. The surprise is how successfully Smith keeps Fish Watching simple. . . . For feeling good about loving fishes just for what they are, I'll read Fish Watching."--Kevin Cook, The Coloradoan, August 1, 2004
