A field guide to the amphibians and reptiles of Sonora, MX
I received a copy of this book today and I have yet to put it down. I have one word to describe it — OUTSTANDING!

Good to hear. That's on my list. I was hoping to find it at the Daytona show yesterday, but no luck. I'll order it from the ECO web site. What in particular do you like about it?

Re: A field guide to the amphibians and reptiles of Sonora,
There are many things that I appreciate about the book — the animal descriptions are great, even describing the fine details needed for distinguishing the very similar appearing whiptails; detailed range maps; filled with color pictures; contains every known species of the region, including small colonies of introduced species. The book is well bound with a profession text layout and the text has novel information not found in other articles. I cherish this book as I do Lee Grismer's book on Baja California.
Re: A field guide to the amphibians and reptiles of Sonora,
Thanks. It sounds great. I'm looking forward to getting it. I have Grismer's Baja book and agree that it is very well done. I met him at an IHS meeting in New Orleans several years ago and he's a great guy.
BTW, I gotta look up the book you have as your avatar. That's a new for me and sounds interesting.
