... .Dr Frye is to be congratulated for this lavishly presented two-volume set which is destined to become a standard reference. -- Wildlife Disease Assoc. Newsletter (Australian Section) "... a masterpiece that sets high standards for veterinary textbooks...contains a unique collection of many remarkable and, mostly, very high-quality illustrations...an essential 'tool of the trade' for all veterinarians, herpetologists, zoologists and other scientists involved with reptiles...is likely to remain the standard text on its subject for the foreseeable future." -- Dr. I. F. Keymer "... an exceptional collection of clinical anecdotal experiences and traditional research-based science on the captive reptile. Information...is current and presented in a succinct manner for practical application. Any veterinarian treating reptiles should include this reference within their library. It is well worth the investment." -- Journal of Small Exotic Animal Medicine "This is the ultimate veterinary medicine reference..." -- Reptile & Amphibian Magazine "This book is undoubtedly the definitive text on the subject of husbandry, medicine, diseases , and surgery of reptiles. It brings together a vast amount of information in one comprehensive source. It is a high-quality book that will be a great addition to the library of veterinarians and herpetologists working in this field." - Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine "Even with the large leaps in knowledge that has occurred since the [original] publication of this set in 1991, the quality and care to detail still make this a useful work for the private practice veterinarian, the specialty veterinarian, or the vet working in a zoological setting. Dr. Frye blazed a path for many veterinarians to follow and most importantly build upon... The terrific value of this work will continue for quite a while." -- Library News for Zoos and Aquariums
