Underwater photo books

Hi
I picked up several underwater photo books over the last couple months:
Luminous Seas -- by Richard Salas. Richard is a photo mentor of mine, and this is his third book. He has an exhibit at the seattle aquarium right now too. Really nice, high quality book, a bit pricey though. It was shot mostly in God's Pocket and Alaska. It also has a couple shots from Redondo when I took him there . Various quotes throughout the book are a nice touch. Andy Lamb was a technical consultant.
The Salish Sea: Jewel of the Pacific Northwest. This is a really nice book, with photos from a variety of photographers, with both top side and underwater photos. It was done with the SeaDoc society. I haven't read the whole book yet but looks to give some good info on the region, and also gives some interesting critter facts. The text in this one is far the most comprehensive of these books.
Beneath Cold Seas, by David Hall. David got some really amazing photos of pacific whitesided dolphins and seals underwater, in addition to a variety of colorful critters. It has some really wonderful over/under shots. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
I'll bring them to an upcoming ThThTh or club dive if anybody wants to take a look.
Does anyone know of any other cool coldwater underwater photo books?
Thanks!
