Many ZooChatters will be familiar with J. L. B. Smith's classic book about the discovery of the coelacanth "Old Fourlegs: The Story of the Coelacanth" (J. L. B. Smith; 1956).
One of my Christmas presents, was an updated version "The Annotated Old Fourlegs: The Updated Story of the Coelacanth" (Mike Bruton; 2018).
This new version includes a facsimile reprint of Smith's original work which has been extensively annotated with additional information and more illustrations.
Even if you already own a copy of the original volume, this updated volume is thoroughly recommended.
