New Water Snake book

Rick D Aug 25, 2004 08:46 PM

Anyone have a new copy of "North American Watersnakes, A Natural History" by J Whitfield Gibbons? It goes for around $50. Just wondering if you think it's worth it.

I heard about it and was wondering the same thing. I was thinking about going ahead and throwing down the money sometime soon. Let me know as well if you hear anything.

...and it is co-authored by Whit Gibbons and Michael Dorcas. It has got TONS of information backed up by an immense bibliography. The color plates are great too.

I got it for $39.95 from Barnes and Nobles. Search around and you should be able to get it cheap.

Pierson, is this the book which you refered to some (a year) time ago??

It sure is. It was published in May after 6 years of preparation. A lot of work went into the book and it really shows.

You must know someone. I just price it at Barnes & Noble and they wanted $49.

I got it on sale at Barnes and Nobles well over a month ago. I guess the sale ended.
