[QUOTE="alephhat, post: 147086, member: 4503"] I paid about $15.00 for this book and was dissappointed. It is nice book to look through and has a few nice pictures and some nice fairly common info, but I found that there was a distinct lack of good data. Plenty of information that most hobbyists (esp. breeders) would already know. I'm not sure of the timeline, as this book may have defined the hobby for its time, but as stands there is far more up to date information online. What really needs to be written is the specifics and data: specifics of sexing by species and instar, temperatures and humidity for enclosures, identification of species and ooths, seive sizes and materials for enclosures and raising feeder insects, chemistry and pro's and con's of substrate materials and molding potential of building materials, incubation temperatures, gestation times, life expectancy, etc etc etc.... Some of this is lightly touched on, but most of it is clearly absent. [/QUOTE]
