WOW!!!......Just recieved two copies of these books and I am totally impressed! I haven't really dug into it yet....but this is one amazing book already! TONS of full color photos.....line drawings and some of the most HORRIFIC bite pics I have ever seen (check out plate 1420!!!). Oh ya...and its TWO huge volumes.

I recommend this book to any venomous reptile enthusiast. Simply fantastic! Nothing like it on the market to my knowledge....Well, except for the original TVSOLA (but I still haven't been able to get a copy......anybody want to trade theirs for my extra copy of TVROTWH???):)

Almost any internet book dealer such as Amazon.com will carry this book. Just search for it on their site.

Looks like a great book. Thanks to some of those photos, I will now be sure not to ever get nailed near the mid-body!

Hmmmmm I am going to have to check this one out!

2 volumes for 150 is a good price if the info is good.

The info is absolutely killer! I would have to say that this is the best venomous reptile text I have ever seen. Simply fantastic.....If you only get one book this year THIS SHOULD BE IT. The price is dirt cheep for what you get. I have paid almost twice as much for books half this good.

People of Ontario.... Help save Scotties back. These books are packed with tonnes of info and as a result they are quite heavy.
Please buy your copy from him and help save his back. We must unite on this cause people! I've done my part now do yours....
