Recommended snake book?

Can anyone recommend a fairly comprehensive book about snakes? Not quite scientific journal / college textbook level, but more than just your typical "shedding is called ecdysis" and "snakes are ecothermic." So many out there, it's hard to know which to get. Thank you!

I highly recommend "Snakes: The Evolution of Mystery in Nature" by Dr. Harry Green from Cornell University. I took his herpetology class as an undergraduate and he's just a witty, interesting guy and his book is detailed without being overwhelming. It's about $40 for a brand new paperback copy.

+1 on Greene's book. I also enjoyed his memoir "Tracks and Shadows: Field Biology as Art", but it isn't about snakes at all.

Chris Mattison's "The New Encyclopedia of Snakes" (ISBN 978-0691132952) is structured a bit more like a textbook without being overly technical, and is a good comprehensive overview.
