Strangely, this book entitled Fish Out Of Time has a cover Fish Caught In Time.
It is a wonderful book about how the fish the world thought was extinct for millions of years was discovered by a museum curator, Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer.
She was friendly with a fisherman who sent her strange specimens and one day, gave her a 5-foot monster of a fish which she identified as a Coelcanth.
This set of an explosion of activity where many other tried to find the fish.
Many quests were started, fortunes made and lost. It became like an Indiana Jones adventure.
Ultimately, more were found and there are now organisations protecting the fish as it is a living fossil.
Recommended. It can be read as an adventure tale and also as a history. 4 out of 5
