Chelonia books - where to buy

[EJ]

I was going to mention JG... I've gotten some good deals from him... but they were collectors items... pricy... but well worth it.

Yea... Chaimera is spittin' out fantastic books left and right... it's killin' me.

Did you see Daniel speak... how was that talk?

I really wanted to make that meeting. Money sucks at the moment.

Zoobook... not as good as it used to be on the old stuff... but cleaning out the new stuff is where you get your deals and what I suspect most here are looking for.

This is the guy that takes most my money...

He is an unbelieveably fair/honest person.

Many of these were rarely seen texts and a good selection of Chelonia related topics.
J G Natural History Books, are always worth checking for titles in this subject!
I came away with a newly published book on The Indian Flap Shelled Turtle, by Dieter Gramentz.

Daniel Bennett's talk on Monitor Lizards was excellent. His work on the Butan was very interesting. The audience which included Dr Ian Stephen and his staff from ZSL filled the auditorium.
For those who expreesed an interest, I believe there was some very special behind the scenes options later in the evening at ZSL!
In addition to Daniel, Prof Richard Brown gave a fascinating talk on the evolution of endemic Lizards on the Canary Islands: The Galapagos of the Atlantic!

I so want to visit Daniel when he goes to the South Pacific.

Who is this prof Brown.

You know there were tortoises on the Canarys... Galap/Aldabra types... and the islands are relatively young.
