Janis provides a good reference to coralsnakes. The text is superb and I find the info on the snakes a fantastic reference. The photos are in limited supply and look like they should be in a picture book. The pattern section provides colorful illustrations that are present in Campbell & Lamar 2004, which was great. I would recommend it to any herpetologist.

This is an excellent book that summarizes a lot of what is currently known about the coral snakes (Micrurus + Micruroides). The Amazon.com summary pretty much says it all. It is certainly not cheap in comparison to say Cambpell + Lamar's book but there you go. One MAJOR criticism regards the presentation of the photographs. In comparison with the rather professionally presented text, the photographs might as well be from a children's book a couple of decades old (needs to be seen to be believed!). However, the text more than makes up for this.

It is a very hard to find book, i bought it used in excelent condition like a new item, delivery in less time i expected at a very nice price.

Oh! Just buy the doggon book already!!! :)
