Summary: A great picture book....but lacking in credible information!
Comment: As a dart frog breeder this is an awesome book to show people what different dart frog species look like. The pictures in the book are high quality, glossy and the animals he photographed are representative of the species. Every one I know who breeds Poison Dart Frogs has one (at least one) of his books - many of them have broken bindings from so much use.
My fault with the book is with the accuracy of the information within the book. If you are interested in getting into dart frogs and learning how to breed them then get another book! Save your money and buy some of the less expensive books and scan the Internet for breeders and information. You will learn a lot more through this process than through the book. Much of the information isn't correct or is misleading.
I recommend this book to everyone...but not for information or as a resource but as a 'coffee table book'!

Summary: Magnificent Book!
Comment: This is a beautiful oversized book with literally hundreds of very high quality glossy photographs of these exquisite animals. If you have any interest in poison dart frogs, you'll love this book. The photography in this book alone justifies its purchase price. However, this is not merely a picture book. The extensive text includes information about the species, including their habitat range, biology and behavior. Although a short section on keeping the frogs in captivity is included, the hobbyist looking for information about captive care will be disappointed. Even the author readily admits that captive care of poison frogs is not his interest. There are several better books about captive care (including, paradoxically, a very nice one by this same author). However, the hobbyist looking to better understand the nature of his or her pet in the wild or anyone with an interest in frogs should enjoy this book

Summary: WONDERFUL pictures!!!
Comment: This book is a MUST for those interested in dart frogs. It covers most of the know species with many HUGE glossy photos and excellent behavior and natural habitat descriptions for each. It's great for color identification and general knowledge. This book does NOT go into detail regarding poison frogs in captivity.
