Discovering Amphibians : Frogs and Salamanders of the Northeast
A neat little book with some great field stories, by fellow CT herper, John Himmelman.
A Guide to Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica
A true guide for the field. If you have to bring a book to Costa Rica, bring this one. Authored by field herper extraordinaire and my friend, Twan Leenders.

Re: A couple of plugs
I know Twan, excellent at tropical herp ID. I captured one of the frogs pictured in his book for him. I thought his book was out of print though? He should definately do a second edition.

I have the book spinifer posted. It is a great book, and with spin's help on the new edition, kick's even more butt.
Re: A couple of plugs
If I google Delmarva I find that it's either Maryland, Delaware or Virginia. Sorry but such an esoteric book could be tough to market.
Re: A couple of plugs
The book is actually about the Delmarva Peninsula which if you look at a map, is the peninsula situated between Delaware Bay and Chesapeake Bay. I don't know about how they have fared marketing the book, but it is esoteric - I agree. I'm speaking completely on assumption, but I would think the book was a labor of love, and the specific group of people that seek it out will be delighted. Roger Conant sings its praises. Check it out if you get a few extra bucks. It is really well done.

Conant must have sang its praises, he passed away some time ago.
Re: A couple of plugs
I should have been more clear. He is quoted on the back cover and had nice things to say. Hence, I was speaking from the present perspective.
