John Browning's Book, Tarantulas, Is the best, most comprehensive, book on tarantulas I own. It explains how raise and breed your tarantulas, whats kinds food and housing to give them, and how to enter them in local 4-H contests! If have you the slightest intrest in tarantulas, buy this book. Tell Em' Tarantula Boy sent you.

.....Yes this book is old, it was written in the 1970's. It was the first Tarantula book I purchased when I got into the hobby. All the pet stores sold it. It gives you all the necessary info you will need to successfully keep a pet Tarantula healthy and happy. I often wonder if Mr. Browning still keeps Tarantulas?

I am pretty new to the hobby of tarantulas and I am the type of person that actually enjoys research. I bought this book to add to my library and boy am I sorry I did. This book is soooo old. I know that it says that it's published in 1989 but the pictures are straight from the late 70's (light blue polyester suits,...imagine the movie "Boogie Nights"). The information is nothing that could not be found on the internet with a google search and if you have been in the hobby of tarantulas you will realize that information is hard to come by and tends to vary and change through the years. I'd have to say pass on this one and buy "The Tarantula Keepers Guide" or my favorite "Tarantulas and other Arachnids."

good lucking book a perfect gift to a insects hobbies nice presentations beautiful photos and easy reading.
