christmas list

[mustang]

i havent been asking for much so i need to know what some good books are. List some reasonably priced things like medical books and herpetologist books! or whatever yall think i would like:rolleyes: cuz im having difficulty finding stuff

[Stefan-A]

The rule of thumb is that the better the book, the more expensive it is. What sort of book are you after?

[mustang]

big books! lol ok for example theres this book on "how to catch a snake" and its $750 but the second edition is still in print and it has 36 more pages and is about $15-$20
i would love things like medical books on enom and anti venom, herpetology, maybe textbook sized books. basically the thicker and more reptile related the better!

[Stefan-A]

Look for authors named Kardong and Wüster, if you're interested in venom.

All good books. The thinnest is about 240-250 pages.

Just ordered a pile of books, among others:

Herpetology
9780123743466

Snakes Victims of Parasites
9783639267945

Thought you might find them interesting.

[ConcinusMan]

I sure do. Added the first one to my wish list. Let's see if the price comes down after new years day.;)

[Stefan-A]

I just cancelled that second book. The store I use didn't display the full title of it; Snakes Victims of Parasites: Parasites of Viper and Cobra

[ConcinusMan]

Yeah, that's why I passed too.

i know im getting the second of the lower books but should i get both of the top books (the textbooks) or just the more recent) if you dont know what im asking read the reviews for the second edition of the bottom set of books (the non textbook) and then youll get the idea.

same author second and third edition . does that mean the third has all the stuff the second has in it and more like thees two books
It could mean that it's exactly the same contents presented with some tiny basically meaningless differences, or it could mean that the contents are updated, revised, expanded or whatever.

Can't say what the differences are in this specific case.
