I had pre-ordered the book two years ago, so paid $149.00 for it before it was published. In the meantime, they did a lot more work on it, so the finally publishers price was more.

Most of the poison frogs we are familiar with as hobbyists are still under a superfamily, Dendrobatoidea, (poison frogs in general) with Dendrobatidae (poison frogs specifically) and Aromobatidae families below that, and then subfamilies such as Dendrobatinae below that--followed by the genus names, which show the most changes. But as far as forum names and hobbyist are concerned, the name "Dendro" is still pertinent for all practical purposes.

Since the book doesn't include a schematic "family tree," (before and after the changes, including all species) it's hard to tell the current relationships and what changes have been made at a glance. Taxonomists have more rules than the IRS.
