From Amazon.com customer's review:
Having now amassed a good collection of tortoises and turtles myself, I find myself engulfed in reading about them. A. C. Highfield is one of the most interesting, knowlegeable, and practical writers about materials for tortoise and turtle enthusiasts.
Whether novice or advanced collector, this book is yet another of Highfield's real treasures, giving all kinds of specialized, detailed and extremely useful basic and advanced information. Who would ever have thought a tortoise could outlive a human? Or that one might really need to make provisions for these pets for after one's own death due to their longevity. The reality is that each of my own turtles indeed has a unique personality of his or her own, and they have become an absolutely fascinating part of my daily life.
Highfield's insights into the various peculiarities of individual species is well worth the time invested in reading (and re-reading) this book. It is particularly useful for many commonly collected herps and offers great insights into how to reap the joys of maintaining them in captivity.
The book is first rate.
