This is a perfect book to give to anyone interested in reptiles, including kids. The pictures are bright and beautiful, and you'll find all sorts of creatures you never knew existed before. There is some text, but it's not extensive. This is a definite coffee table book.

Not up to snuff for Lamar   December 13, 1998

I bought this book and while the photos are, in many cases spectacular, the book itself does not match the previous work by the author. Granted, you get to see pictures of some extremely rare and little-known herps. But, that just whets the appetite for more; especially a bit of text for edification, something which Lamar is perfectly capable of doing. I had hoped this would be on a par with the author's work in the "Venomous Reptiles of Latin America" but it does not match the scope of that monumental work. Alas, this is exactly what it purports to be, an expensive albeit very well done book of pictures. It is worth having if you have money to spare and wish to fill your shelves.
