5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best, 19 Feb 2001
By sueboyle50@hotmail.com (NorthWest England, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tortoise Trust Guide to Tortoises and Turtles (Paperback)
Having read many books on the care of tortoises, I have to say that this is the very, very best ever. Guidlines and facts are concise without being too complicated for the lay person to understand. Many books and guides on this subject are either ill/under-informed, simple pet guides or incredibly technical and complicated beyond comprehension. This is neither, being spell binding from start to finish. Whatever you might need to know about the general welfare of the tortoise, it is here. Well worth double the price, but, having said that I've already got my copy! Well done Andy Highfield.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasic!, 16 May 2001
This review is from: The Tortoise Trust Guide to Tortoises and Turtles (Paperback)
This book was so helpfull, I have not owned a tortiose before and this book got me off to a great start. I would recomend this to anyone who is interested in buying or breeding turtles or tortiose. Also if you are serious about buying a tortoise or turtle it is well worth joining the tortoise trust.

5.0 out of 5 stars Andy is the worlds authority on captive keeping tortoises, 20 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tortoise Trust Guide to Tortoises and Turtles (Paperback)
Well worth a read, a must before you buy your first tortoise, and a godsend to people with tortoises who have been keeping them using traditional methods.
