are... Manny rubio's : Rattlesnake 'portrait of a predator'
Chris Mattison : Rattler
Also the klauber book is probably one of the best books ever written but if you were looking for a lot of pics ect, this wouldnt be your book. Jon

Hope this helps you out. I own all of these books and would recommend them all.
There are several others that cover similar topics but none as in-depth and thorough as these.
