I have been wanting this book since I started raising dart frogs. The pictures are incredible! It is a well done overview of the Dendrobatidae family of dart frogs. It contains many interesting breed habits and rainforest facts. The price was right for my purchase here on Amazon.
I highly recommend this book for any dart frog hobbyist.
 Lovely Photos- Outdated Information May 5, 2007

This is a large, expensive book with beautiful photographs. It was written too long ago to be of any serious use to folks keeping Dendrobatids. Care information is paltry and the taxonomy is (now) inaccurate. Some photos are misidentified (The "*Epipedobates femoralis*" on pg. 230 is *Lithodytes lineatus*- not even a Dendrobatid!) My largest concern is that it has no information or insight into the rampant smuggling/habitat destruction that is currently a major concern of Poison frog keepers. Some of the frogs photographed (including one on the cover!) are injured or sick. There are photographs that amount to advertisements printed in the book.
This said, the photos are very nice, and there are an abundance of photos of species not commonly available in the hobby. The large format makes it ideal to showcase just how beautiful the frogs are.

Great book with great color photos. Very detailed information and maps. Care information. An all round good reference....the only knock being...it's a little too large.....but not a bad price/value for it's size on the other hand. If you are interesting in keeping PDF's then this is a must have...a wealth of information!
