When our 24 year old son asked for a book on spiders for Christmas, I did a LOT of online review reading. We found 2 that were just what we were looking for (this one: "The Book of Spiders"; & another called "Book of the Spider" by Paul Hillyard.) The Book of Spiders has many incredible photographs and lots of interesting facts. I do NOT like spiders, however I found this book hard to put down! If you are looking for a book about spiders for an adult, I highly recommend this one, it is loaded with info and is written in laymans terms.
very nice

I got this book as a gift, several years ago, when I was in high school. The pictures are amazing and the text is informative. This is a great book for children (probably 10yrs & up) and adults who are interested in nature and/or spiders, scorpions, etc. It should be noted that this book does not list every species of spider. It mainly serves as an introduction or general overview of spiders and their habitats.
