French books

Does anyone know if there are any books on reptiles and amphibians of France?

Hi Francesco !

Are you looking for books about reptiles and amphibians living in France ? But in which language ? Because there is several books in french. I can search the list for you. In english, I have to check that.

But you can try a very good book in french about the french newts and salamanders :

"Les Salamandres et les Tritons",
of Philippe Geniez and Pierre Grillet
Editions "Atlas Visuels PAYOT Lausanne"
1990

It's a good one. Now I'm looking for others books and I inform you ASAP !

Marie-Sophie

this one looks quite recent. Is it a good book?

Yes! It is very nice in it's illustrations and pictures. But make sure you get the version with the CD, it costs 5 euro extra but it is worth it!!!
