Kraus' book was published in 2009, so it doesn't include many recent records. That said, it's very well-written and contains a huge amount of info. It has ~130 pp of text and a few hundred pages of data-rich tables, as well as a CD that allows you to sort/extract data more easily. I reviewed it for Herpetological Review a few years ago, PM me if you want a copy of the review.
