Library Additions, Recommendations?

[SoCaliSon]

I know we live in the age of the internet... But I still like to keep a library of nice reliable reference materials in my office. I have a few Herp realted books... but not enough. This site has kept me from making more "book" investments. I am not looking for the typical "care" books, I am looking for text book style refference material. I am looking for books with info on anything from evolution, to conservation, medical info on parasites, how they are transferred/treated, anything that offers valuable info aside from the common "Chameleons as Pets" books. I know the kinds of books I am looking for have typically been put out by Doctors or universities and are on the normally $$$, but I am willing to pay for what I am looking for. But I was curious if anyone had any suggestions on refernce material to add to my Cham room. Is there a Herpetology Encyclopedia?

Thanks Guys,
Joe

Exactly... I would love to get my hands on the CIN Journals... how can that be done?

If you don't have Necas's book, it is well worth the price and much more "scientific" than a basic care book.

As for the CiN journals, that might be a tough one. Seeing as how the former editor is now dead-set against anyone keeping any kind of chameleon in captivity, I kinda doubt she's still selling the issues. Also, someone auctioned off their entire collection on Ebay not too long ago so that might be a place to keep an eye on. But, if there was something specific you were looking for (particular species profile, field notes, etc) I could prolly make you a few photocopies....for a price. Ewwwwwww, as I was writing that I just remembered I still owe Brad R. a copy of the Yemen Field Notes article. Sorry about that Brad, my bad.
