I heartily recommend Snakes The Evolution of Mystery in Nature by Harry W. Green with photos by Michael and Patricia Fogden, University of California Press, paperback edition, 2000. Available through Amazon.

This is an excellent manuscript, with cutting-edge science, natural history, and gripping personal narrative ala Ditmars. The photos are superb, with natural settings, good lighting and sharp focus. The printing is excellent, with all colors in register. I found some of the print a bit hard to read, but then I do need new glasses!

This book will appeal to the beginner snake fan as well as the advanced ophidiophile. I rank it as a "Must Have" for all snake and reptile people and general naturalists.

Regards,
