I have been collecting books on reptiles since I was a kid. Many of these books have been out of print for many years and are highly sought after by serious enthusiasts and collectors. All books are in good used condition. All have been read extensively but there is no major dammage.
GILA MONSTER AND IT'S ALLIES, THE by Bogert and Martin del Campo 1956 (1993 reprint with a new preface by Charles M. Bogert and a retrospective essay by Daniel D.Beck) Hardback book, 242 pages, one colour plate, black and white photographs and line drawings
Notes: Quite possibly the quintessential book on the genus. Of course that’s my personal opinion. Please note that this book is out of print.
