Originally published by King and Green!
This book is a knock-off of the much more reasonably priced book by King and Green called "Goanna"-- down to chapter sequence, subheadings, and even poor but recognizable copies of illustrations. The taxonomy is poorly done, but the color photos are pretty good.

The Best written monitor reference I have seen.
DeLisle presents an outstanding, comprehensive book on Varanids that includes keys, range maps, and detailed natural history information for each species. Tables show preferred optimal temperature zones and detailed dietary information for each species.
