Dr. Jim Sanderson’s new book, Small Wild Cats: The Animal Answer Guide, has been created to answer the many questions that arise about these small but unique creatures we enjoy on stamps.
Dr. Sanderson is a Fellow of the Wildlife Conservation Network and the founder of the Small Cat Conservation Alliance. He is also a COSSU member.
Artist Patrick Watson produced the original artwork in the book and is a co-author. Many of the the photos are in color.
The book, published by The Johns Hopkins University Press, is available from Jim in soft or hard cover. If you are interested, contact Jim at gato_andino@yahoo.com. The book is $45 hard cover and $24.95 softcover plus $3.95 shipping.
