Agreed on the above.
IMO Corals of the World isn't a very good value for most people. It is probably worthwile if you think you need it, or just want some cool pictures of corals.
It is pricey though.
Borneman's Aquarium Corals book is a must IMO for any beginning reef aquarist. You will find use for it for years. I still use it as a reference, and quite often take it with me on trips just to re-read.
The Modern Coral Reef Aquarium Vol 1 by Fossa and Nielsen is another that I think is a great read for anyone getting more advanced into the hobby. This book taught me about pH, calcium and alkalinity before I discovered the vast amount of info on the net. It isn't an easy read, but it contains so much info I think it is well worth the $75 or $80 it costs.
