Reviews
'This is a rare feat: both coffee table book and academic reference book, engaging and informative in equal measure.'
'the value of this book to me means that it may be some time before I have exhausted the joy that comes with finding out another new-to-me fact about this fascinating and under-appreciated taxon.'
'Writing for a wide readership in an accessible style, Smith-Jones has produced an authoritative and attractive reference work with a strong conservation focus.'
'A comprehensive volume covering each of the world's deer species...It will make a valuable contribution to a natural history library'
'I tend to pride myself on my knowledge of deer species, but even I will admit that there are a few in these pages that were a surprise! Add to that the stunning pictures sprinkled throughout, and you've got an easy read that I found myself flicking through at leisure.'
'What a beautiful book! This is one that I had my eye on for some time and was incredibly pleased that when it arrived it did not disappoint.' -- Scribehound, November 2023
