Good Book??

[Joey]

Has any body on here read through Turtles and Tortoises for Dummies?
Is the information in it as good as it gets or can anybody suggest other, may be better books?

Cheers!

*edit - ordered it just in case you said it was well worth a read*

sorry to dissapoint, that book is awfull!
no wonder its called tortoises for Dummies, it must have been written by a dummy!
i would say download the guide off my website:
www.tortoise-world.com (the small and easy to read one) or the one from Lin king, if you do a google search, for Tlday, it should come up!
Better still, BOTH!

Sorry Joey in my opinion this book is a load of rubbish ;
If you want a good read on tortoise care in captivity your best getting something written by Andy Highfield try this site for good reading WWW.VIDI-HERP.COM
Other good reading Timothy the tortoise by Rory Knight Bruce .
A Sheltered Life by Paul Chambers history of the giant galapagos tortoise and aldabras ( this book is excellent)
Encyclopedia of turtles by Dr Peter C.H.Pritchard

Ho well well at least I'll have some thing to mindlessly read when the nights start to draw back in ... and if we run out of coal, this book should keep us going for an hour
Back to looking at good books ...

You dont have to go to anybodies site to acssess Lin Kings booklet. If you go to
www.tortoises.net you can see all Lins great plant list with pictures, and her downloadable
booklet on raising torts from hatchling to adult.
The addy is Lins site.

Been on this site most of today, writing down notes, it is a fantastic site, granted!
The pictures of the different weeds have been very helpful ... as I live in the countryside of Lincolnshire, I am learnng the name of the weeds I have growing in my garden as it is now, seams I have the menu from Tortoise heavon growing in my back yard
