This award-winning book is so beautiful, it makes even the most timid want to become reptile lovers! The photography is first rate, the reptiles shown are, well, spectacular, and the book is exquisitely put together. Just stunning! I was so impressed that I just had to see this company's other "The World's Most Spectacular..." book on seashells. Bought them both to give as gifts this year!

This book, while not very wordy and informative in the text, is what I believe to be the best pictorial on the many varieties of reptiles and amphibians. Most of the pictures say more than words ever could. The photos deal with animals such as the red eyed tree frog, which are on half the shirts and coffee mugs known to man, to extremely rare and odd animals such as the Borneo earless lizard, caiman lizard, Bismarck ringed python, spiny-headed treefrog, and even golden toads in amplexus. The pictures are clear, crisp, and big, so you get the detail of the colors and shapes gracing the many animals in this book. I am so glad that there are finally pictures of the more obscure reptiles and amphibians so there is no more squinting at bad black and white photos in a dictionary. This book is a must for the Herp enthusiast, no matter how amateur of professional.

This is a great reptile and amphibian book for a wide audience. The color photography alone is breathtaking! (If you don't believe me, just put some of the exquisite photos in front of your cherished herps and see what they do! It will be romeo and juliet re-visited right in your own home! Sincerely, Jen E. known fondly as the "lizard lady" in my town! P.S.-Get the hardcover version! It's a book that any herpetology enthusiast will enjoy for years to come!
