Their exhaustive research resulted in a famous two-volume sourcebook, first published in 1957. Abundantly and painstakingly illustrated by the authors, this personalized natural history organizes for ready reference a wealth of information on American and Canadian snakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross the two volumes of \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Snakes of the United States and Canada\u003c\/i\u003e are accounts of more than three hundred species and subspecies, accompanied by photographs, drawings, and distribution maps.
