Summary: Awesome Photo Album & Quick Reference
Review: This book is jam packed with photos making it enjoyable to simply thumb through just to continuously look at the many pretty pictures. I reference it often when looking for an easy way to identify a turtle or when I seek quick stats on a specific species.

I would have given it five stars but I dropped a star because I desire more content when I purchase a book. As a supplement reference guide and a photo album this book is SUPERB but if you are seeking hard core information and/or more details on a specific species, I have to recommend supplementing this purchase with either Russ Gurley's "Keeping and Breeding Freshwater Turtles", Peter Pritchard's "encyclopedia of Turtles" or "Turtles of the United States and Canada" providing you have not already found a book dedicated to the species you are wanting to expand your knowledge on.

Summary: Almost two hundred land, marine and freshwater species
Review: Turtle and tortise expert Ferri provides an in-depth and colorful detailing of almost two hundred land, marine and freshwater species of turtles and tortoises, with hundreds of color photos and drawings providing a strong visual background for identification. An excellent library reference for any collection serious about natural history.
