The shows i have gone to ALL have tables that have PLEANTY of books on herps. If you go to a show near you, or alot of times even a larger local book store you will find they may have what you are looking for.

Events should have books.
I've found the "BARRONS" series and the "Advanced Vivarium Systems" books to generally have respectably solid info.
Online stores (like Amazon) or even little local bookstores may be able to order what you want. Large bookstores or pet stores may even have something without needing to order it specially.
Be warned about content however. Some still-in-print books recommend things like hotrocks so if you flip through something and see a few red flags, regard it with a grain of salt.
Older books are a luck of the draw kind of thing. Some are priceless, and others should be looked at only from a historical perspective.

The two dealers I purchase frequently off are:

Zoo Book sales

Krieger publishing

Both can be found online (google search)

I highly recommend both dealers.
