The Snakes of Europe
George Albert Boulenger
How do you tell a harmless grass snake from an adder before it is too close? Boulenger, one of the great herpetologists, lays out the skin, skeleton, teeth, and venom apparatus of every European species, then guides identification in the field. Coloration, senses, and habits fill the later chapters. A clear, careful handbook to the serpents of a continent.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
