You can try amazon but the book is fairly hard to get right now. I paid over $200 to get mine.

I have both versions in German and English and the German was always much cheaper. It is published in Germany and I think translated in Germany so that adds to the cost for us.

I have got both editions in English and they are great books. Would be a great question to ask him if he is planning a 3rd edition. He is a member to these forums although he is not logged on much.

Not to disparage the Nature's Hidden Jewels - both editions are great and I used them faithfully for years. My go-to book now is Chameleons of Africa by Colin Tilbury. It includes a larger number of species and the information presented is more current. Unfortunately it carries a hefty price tag.

I think I also prefer the Tilbury book. It offers a lot of good solid info.

Except Tilbury has not got any Calumma or Furcifer? What I am going to be doing with my time if I have not got any good Calumma or Furcifer articles/chapters to read? Kinyongia, Trioceros, Bradypodion and Chamaeleo are golden however I cannot forget about my Madagascar genera.

How funny, I have almost nothing in my Necas book now as compared to Tilbury. Guess our interest can change over time.

I don't know; I drink good scotch and watch the hockey game.

Not funny and interests have not got to change. Tilbury just has got to scoot over to Madagascar and write a book about Madagascar. There is tons of information that could be published that would make a great book for the general public.

I going to Canada for Christmas I'm going to have to consider watching a hockey game while I'm there. I keep hearing good things from the locals in BC about Poutin (sp?) too.

Does anybody have this book for sale? Even the 1st edition can be good for me.

I know that the first edition can be found on amazon, but fairly pricy (90$ used).

Thanks.
