This book is published by Chimaira and is supported by a range of international conservation agencies. With 608 pages and around 900 images, it attempts to be a thorough, up-to-date account, of the natural and introduced reptile species in this biodiversity hotspot. The reptiles are a dominant component of the natural terrestrial vertebrate fauna. For example, there are almost three times more native terrestrial reptile species than passerine birds, and unlike the birds these are overwhelmingly endemic to the Lesser Antilles.
There is a lot on anoles-including images of every species and the various within-island ecotypes.
The book is available at NHBS, Chimaira (the publisher), or elsewhere.

I need this book now! The cover alone is beautiful, and the book comes with color pictures! I looked at the previews, one picture of a male Anolis Dactyloa drinking from a flower is so adorable.
