Sometimes I lose Angela for days in the East Wing of Haletowers.....LOL.

Eh??? I don't get it? You said once you keep your spider book collection in the west wing, so what are the books and magazines about that are in the east wing???







Oh come on Ray what sort of a reply did you expect!
All the best

Chris Im surprised at you mate. You gave me most of them......

[Colin D Wilson]

That would be adult spider material then Ray

[Chris Sainsbury]

Only because you said and I quote:-
"I am feed up to the teeth of those little black blobs they stick on the good bits. do us a favour and bring us over some good mainland European stuff to look though next time your over."

BTW I still refuse to go to that special shop with zippy costumes not even for the once in a life time beer at your expence!

Hi,
I've read this thread with interest! I've just got my first spider, an A.huriana ( I only know that because Colin enlightened me, I thought she was a minatrix). Does anybody know of any good books on arboreal species, especially avics.

At present there is nothing specific on arboreal species but Ron Baxters book covers them pretty well.

Thanks Ray. Another one for my shopping list!

arg Wikipedia! a great resource at times, but when Johnny Depp can go in to correct errors in the article about him, and have it changed BACK to the erroroneous version not long after he's finished, we have scant hope of THAt being a consistently reliable tool. shame, as it's such a great idea, in theory! kinda like pure socialism lol

been there done that got the t shirt
i changed an entry on the L Para from only eats one or two crickets a week to a more realistic figure but within a few days it was back to its original again ??

i just bought Stanley & Marguerite Schultz book The Tarantula Keeper's Guide
saw it in the shop in Charlton that i went to on Saturday! bargain at £9.

[Peter Lacey]

I love this book James, a tad heavy but full of info, history and advice whilst also acknowledging there's loads more to learn. Stan is currently writing the 3rd edition which is expected by the end of the year, all going well.

D'oh!! I've just bought the book too. Didn't realise an updated version was on the way.

Since this thread seems to have changed to include sources of books I'd recommend www.bookdepository.co.uk. For books 'in print' and as long as they're not newly published, best-sellers then I find them to be the cheapest source. Their site even links to Amazon for the same book to order from there if it is cheaper! Shipping is free worldwide and I've found their service very good (despatch estimates are accurate, packaging good, etc.). As an example The Tarantulas Keepers Guide by Stanley A Schultz is £6.92 - despatched within 2-3 days.

Don't you hate it when you buy something and someone tells you that they know someone whose selling it cheaper than what you bought it for. A few pence shy of £10 inc p+p on eBay then this happens:-

As an example The Tarantulas Keepers Guide by Stanley A Schultz is £6.92 - dispatched within 2-3 days.

That difference could be a box of crickets!
