Edit: Btw, the book is even though not available yet, but to be ordered at amazon right now and will be delivered when finally published (hopefully) in February 2012: http://www.amazon.de/Herpetofauna-Continental-United-States-Canada/dp/0700618333/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323896037&sr=8-1

You are most welcome, Mr. Niehoff and Thank you for providing the direct link(for some reason, I wasn't able to get that 'powke2' link to work). I would recommend this publication to any members not familiar with the book(judging from the previous editions)as a solid addition to one's library. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .

Just received the book yesterday. Hopefully expecting an identification key down to subspecies rank, I was a bit disappointed, realising that only full species are treated. Anyway this is a nice item, maybe helpful from time to time. Thanks again for that hint, Jon.

Reading books is another fun part of the hobby.
Its allways satisfying reading a good book and learning something new.

I have a few extra copies if anyone is interested. Price is CDN $25.00. I don't know what the postage would be outside North America but I can get a quote if anyone is interested.
