Hours of interesting reading . . . Highly recommended. --Reptile Hobbyist This is one of the few books that I must (and will) have three copies of--one for home, one for the office, and one in the car, just so I'll never be without it. It is that well written, that reader friendly, and that valuable a resource. --Martin J. Rosenberg, Case Western Reserve University, NOAH One of the nicest [herp guides] I've seen recently is this new guide to the herpetofauna of the Great Lakes region. . . . The photos are excellent. . . . [T]he longer than usual discussions of many aspects of natural history will give you hours of interesting reading and introduce you to herps beyond the field guide level. Highly recommended. --Reptile Hobbyist . . . an excellent guide for anyone interested in the herpetofauna of northeastern and north-central United States. --Bulletin of the Maryland Herpetological Society . . . an essential tool for 'herp watching' in the Great Lakes region. --Farm & Dairy One of the nicest [herp guides] I've seen recently is this new guide to the herpetofauna of the Great Lakes region. . . .
