This is NOT the same bibliography that was published in Tarantula Keeper's Guide series of books! This huge bibliography, located at http://www.ucalgary.ca/~schultz/biblio.html, was however a source listing of most of the references consulted in their preparation. It may not be of interest to the casual hobbyist, but if you really are interested in finding out all you can about tarantulas, and don't mind spending days in dusty, old, university libraries, it can be a critical source list.

In addition, Breene (1996) contains a bibliography that lists many of those same entries, plus additional ones that were missed, and extends the listing through at least 1995 or 1996. Together, these two bibliographies comprise one of the most complete and comprehensive listings of tarantula books, papers and articles available anywhere in the world. Anyone who is writing about tarantulas (from the level of a high school term paper through works to be published in professional journals) or doing research on tarantulas would do well to first consult these bibliographies for source or background material.

This is a huge file, over 385 Kb. We will be reformatting it sometime in the future to make it a little more user friendly, but at the moment that project has had to be pushed to the "back burner."
