View Full Version : great book on Tarantulas!:)
The Tarantula Keeper's Guide by Stanleyand Marguerite Schultz. This book was recommended to me by several people in the hobby. Its $20Can and worth every cent! Packed with information on anatomy and physiology, identification, natural history, keeping and breeding, how to catch your own...etc...etc...thats just some of the stuff in there. If you want a good resource on these magnifecent creatures this is it!:)

I've got that book too and I dont even own one...... yet. I think its pretty informative and well organized but could have more pics in it and not just of B. Smithi.
This is pretty much the best book available to the common hobbyists as far as general care info...
Just watch out on the dated taxonomy... otherwise, best buy in it's category...

Gee Tarcan,
You forgot to mention, you have a great book review section on your website! I got a kick out of it! hee hee
As for the cheap crappy book department, I intend to buy them all! I like to look at the pictures, :). Plus, I love books.

Its commonly referred to as "the bible" of tarantula hobby.
Stan is working on a revision of "the guide", as even the last edition is becoming outdated!!
