Gerry Swan kept geckos while at school and after moving to Australia from New Zealand in the 1960s a chance encounter with a blue tongue lizard rekindled his interest in reptiles. An Associate of the Australian Museum and past editor of the journal Herpetofauna, Gerry has written and co-authored more than 9 books about reptiles; including What Snake is That, What Lizard is That, and Complete Guide to Reptiles of Australia. He also works as a reptile consultant and has a particular interest in the reptiles of the arid and semi-arid regions of New South Wales.

 

Steve Wilson's lifelong love affair with reptiles has taken him to some of Australia most remote places. For the past 30 years he has been working to compile a comprehensive photographic documentation of Australia reptiles. He has authored/co-authored more than 5 books, including A Field Guide to Reptiles, What Snake is That, and What Lizard is That and has written many magazine articles on reptiles. For the past 20 years Steve has worked at the Queensland Museum, educating the public, identifying their specimens and (hopefully) instilling a desire to conserve our unique biological heritage.

A Quick Note About Our Prices

 

We know everyone is feeling the pinch with cost-of-living pressures right now, and we’ve been working hard to keep our prices as steady as possible. As a small business, we do our very best to keep our prices fair. Like many small businesses, we’re seeing the cost of products continuing to rise. For us, this comes from a mix of things—overseas exchange rates, (most of our book stock comes from overseas), higher freight charges, and the smaller discounts we receive from wholesalers compared to big chains. On top of that, pay-later service fees also add to the challenge.

 

When the dollar fluctuates, or when shipping costs and product costs rise, the price we’re charged for new stock also changes. Every order to replenish stock can bring different costs, which means we sometimes need to adjust our prices to match. We’ve worked hard to absorb as much of this as possible, but each new order can bring new prices, and sometimes we need to adjust ours to keep up. We always keep changes to a minimum, and we remain committed to offering you the best value we can.

 

Please know we only change prices when it’s unavoidable, and we’re so grateful for your support in helping us keep on doing what we love, and keep on bringing you the books you love.
