This is
a list
of my current holdings of books about turtles. As time, resources, and
inclinations permit, I will add other titles and annotate some of those
already in the list. Please enjoy the browse. If you have any questions
about any of these holdings, get in touch. I am always happy to discuss
turtles. At some point I would like to pass the entire collection
on to a suitable institution. I am open to suggestions. Needless to
say, I am also open to contributions to the collection or donations to
support building it. In the final analysis, some institution will
be
well served by this effort. If you want to purchase one of these books,
you can visit the link I have provided to
one or more large commercial sources such as Amazon or Barnes and
Noble. Look in the "Details" section. Before you order from such a
source, though, I strongly urge you
to patronize your local independent bookseller.
