[QUOTE="Orin, post: 148148, member: 10"] I imagine people who already know everything and have been breeding mantids wouldn't learn a lot from a small guide book, it is only 44 pages. Unfortunately all the proprietary information in the book has been turned into common banter on the internet as source info is rarely, if ever, credited. Still most people appreciate the book for what it is, a hobbyist guide written by mantis breeders for mantis hobbyists who don't already know everything and prefer not to spend hours and hours wading through conflicting message board posts or caresheets most often written by people who've never bred the species they list. The cost of the book (I imagine you're including shipping since the book doesn't retail for as much as you say you paid) is for the cover, color plates, and assembly in the USA. Praying Mantids Keeping Aliens is also the only thing that paid to keep mantidforum running till a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
