Best book?

For those of you who have bought the latest BP books, which one do you consider the best? While I know about snakes more than the average person, I am no way an expert and want to learn all I can before I even THINK about breeding what I have. (Heck, I know even then I will still be learning, not like you ever stop).
TIA,
Ingrid

The Barkers Book by far. (Kevin, I still love you!)

VPI's book has much more in-depth scientific resources regarding anatomy and physiology, and has a lot of pictures of snakes internally and externally. Also, the history of Ball Pythons is very well written.

Kevin McCurley's book is a great resource as well, but a little more toned down for the general public. It has great photos as well, and a great resource for the newest morphs as well.

Kevin's hardcover version, with morph photos

(the cheaper softcover version that I've flipped through does not include the morph photos)

Agreed.

The Barker book not only has excellent, detailed information but the photography is awesome.

Worth every penny.

Thumbs up

If you can only purchase one, get the Barker's book. I also have Kevin's book and highly recommend it.
