The first review...

"I recently acquired a copy of the new WILDGuides Britain’s Reptiles and Amphibians book. Before I even opened it I was impressed to find that although this was a softback book, it was supplied with a clear plastic sleeve. Opening the book and just idly leafing my way through, the number of superb quality pictures of all of our native herpetofauna (and the significant alien species) was breathtaking. I can safely say I have never seen such a fine collection of photographs of these lovely animals in their various life stages in a single volume.

A more leisurely read found that it was packed with information presented in an easily understood way. The content is so substantial as to leave the impression that the book is far larger than it is. Something of Dr Who’s Tardis about it!

An absolute “must have” for all nature lovers whatever they may already know about our reptiles and amphibians."
