I just received a few copies of the long awaited "Lizards of the American Southwest". This book fills a gap for much of the Southwestern US and Northern Mexico. With 77 contributors, the coverage should be accurate and in depth. I have also listed a number of publications by two well known herpetologists: Alexander Ruthven and P.E. Vanzolini. Please let me know if you would like anything from this list. Breck Jones, Laurence L. C. and Robert E. Lovich (eds.) 2009. Lizards of the American Southwest: A Photographic Field GUide. Rio Nuevo Publishers, Tucson, 568 p. Paperback. Lizards of the American Southwest covers all 96 species found in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and Texas west of the Pecos River. Learn where to find lizards and how to identify them. Includes detailed information on habitat, natural history, taxonomy, viewing tips, plus hundreds of photos, illustrations and maps. 77 experts provide the most comprehensive guide to lizards of the Southwest. $24.94 Ruthven, Alexander G. 1904.
