I also just received a copy of the new book on Venomous snakes of Texas by Andy Price. I have sevaral copies on order and I expect them to arrive soon:

Price, Andrew H. 2009. Venomous Snakes of Texas: A Field Guide. University of Texas Press, Austin, xiv, 116 p. Stiff paperback. $15.95

In addition to these new books I have listed a couple of rare books. I have several more rare books I plan to list soon, but since the Dollar just hit an all time low against the Euro, it may be a really good time to people in Europe as well as other countries to consiider buying things from the USA.

Please let me know if you would like anything from this list.
