"It may just change your mind about arachnids, and help you
identify many of the spiders you have encountered. Not all are
scary!"
*Gardening Australia, August 2017*
"The spider imagery presented throughout this book is superb for
its quality, variety and attention to detail. The over 1300 spider
images, contributed by 62 photographers, are the stars of this
book. Images of juveniles, intraspecific variations, undescribed
and named species are all displayed... I thoroughly recommend this
book for personal enjoyment, as a field guide or as a way to
enthuse someone new to the field of Australian spiders."
*The Victorian Naturalist 134(4), 2017*
