Venomous Snakes in Captivity - book

[BWSmith]

It is finally done and published.

http://www.reptileeducation.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/cover_final3_web.jpg

There are actually two versions of the book. The original is full color. But because color publishing is very expensive, I created a more affordable black and white version. Same content, just no color on the interior.

Ray,
Sorry that got screwed up. So far, that is the only shipping mishap. I will be glad when the shopping cart get done on my site and I can send them out myself. I like being in control of making sure everyone is taken care of. I finally have a couple boxes in stock. It just took a while since I had to pull money out of savings to do it. Either email me your address and I will ship you a replacement or if you will be at the Spartanberg Show I can give it to you then.

[cobraman]

Thanks Brian.

[cobraman]

Thanks again Brian. i will refrain from free handling untill your book arrives instructing me on the best free handling methods :)

[Dennisss]

I'd like to have the book.
But the book has to be send to the Netherlands.
What is the best/cheapest way for me to be sure that I will really have the book and not have to wait months?
Are there more people that ordered the book that lives in like Europe and did get it??
Thats all for now.
Dennisss.

[BWSmith]

So far it has sold in 6 countries (that I know of): US, Canada, UK, Switzerland, Australia, and South Africa

It is best for international orders to go straight through this link:
