A Book to Leaf Through

Hi Guys,
Can anyone suggest or recommend a good book on the subject of PDF's, their care and husbandry. (beginner section a must) Something of substance rather than the normal small hobbyist/Pet Owners Manuals offerings.
Thanks in advance
Regards

The best 'beginner' book out there is probably:
Amazon.com: Poison Dart Frogs (Complete Herp Care) (9780793828937): Amanda Sihler, Greg Sihler: Books

If you're looking for something a little more in-depth:
Amazon.com: Poison Frogs: Biology, Species & Captive Husbandry (9783930612628): Stefan Lotters, Karl-Heinz Jungfer, Friedrich Wilhelm Henkel, Wolfgang Schmidt: Books

Thanks again for your time.
The Sihler book I can obtain here in the UK...
The other one I also like and will have to order from the States.
Thanks
Regards

Agreed, Amanda and Greg's book is excellent and while I have not met Greg, I'm sure if he's anything like Amanda .... they are both great people. I met her a couple weeks ago and she was very helpful and gracious in letting me check out her collection.
