Excellent book! - Rated
I thought this would be just a guide to keeping my Tarantula but its a lot more than that! Theres stuff on history and mythology (how the earliest name for the group we call Tarantulas actually referred to a furry mouse like animal!) and anatomy and physiology. That may sound off-putting but its written in a style thats easy to read for us non-academics.
I would say it is the only book you need if youre thinking of getting a Tarantula!
'nuff said!

Buy this one!
really buy it!

Stan and Margarite Schultz are widely respected in the Tarantula keeping community.

This book is recommended by newbies and professionals alike.

It will teach a beginner everything you want to know and wet you appetite to find out more. There can be no book to inform on all aspects of tarantulas* the subject is too vast, but this book gives you a good basis and if you keep Tarantulas you won't find much beyond the scope of this book. But be warned you'll get hooked.

Oh and don't worry about the scientific names, it'll come as you learn.

I'm writing this review aimed at new enthusiasts because if you've kept T's for a while chances are you have already bought this.

*(you'll learn that the more questions you have answered will only lead you to more questions)
