Your own personal library! Cool...can you tell me the titles of any of the books you own that you found particularly helpful for references?

Wolf books -- a thread over at the Wolf forum that has a list of all my non-fiction wolf and primarily wolf books. The list's about halfway down the thread.

From that:
Wolves: Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation (list entry #7) is highly technical, but is quite new and includes a huge section on wolf communication. It's expensive, though, at about $50, if I remember correctly. Not many photos, either, but the information alone is worth the price.
The Wolf Almanac (list entry #12) likewise isn't particularly photo-heavy, but is more casual reader-friendly than the previous book. It's a little outdated now (published 1995), but comes in either hardbound or paperback.
The Sawtooth Wolves (list entry #16) has lots and lots and lots of photos. Granted, they're all of a captive wolf pack, but you get a lot of angles, positions, and behaviors for your buck. If I can only bring one wolf photo reference book with me on trips, this is usually the one that comes (unless I can't take a hardbound book, that is).
The Wolf: Ghost Hunter (list entry #32) is the book I tend to take with me if I can only bring a softbound book.
Of Wolves and Men (list entries #35 and #36) is a classic of lupine literature and so should be at least read if nothing else. Not photo-heavy but immensely interesting. Available in a softbound reprint.
The Wolf: Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species (list entry #41) is still considered to be the book on wolves, though #7 would make a nice modern appendix. Also available in a softbound reprint.
African Predators (list entry #47) for if you have any interest in Ethiopian wolves. Aside from having information on the species, it has more photos in one place than I've ever seen anywhere else.
Wolf Country: Eleven Years Tracking the Algonquin Wolves (list entry #64) for no other reason than that it has in one of the later chapters a very interesting theory regarding the relationship between the Eastern gray wolf and the red wolf.
Wolves: Life in the Pack (list entry #6 is a recently published book that was one of the Barnes and Noble bargain books, so it's one you might still be able to get relativley cheap. I mention it not only for the price, but because this was the one that I tended to flip through if I had any questions while making the visual aids.

Technically speaking, of course, all of the books I own have their points. Thus, depending upon what I'm looking for, I might reference any one of them.

Blast. For Wolves: Life in the Pack, that should be list entry #68, not #6

Thanks And glad to know they'll be of help.

Heh, well, I got an...was it a B+ or an A-? But, anyway, there was so much more I could have said that I felt rushed and couldn't cram in everything I wanted to within the time period I had. Which probably explains why my persuasive speech got me a solid A despite the fact that I didn't feel as comfortable with the material or the strength of my argument. Funny how that works.

*ears perked* Awesome job... I really like the ears, there really detailed and accurate.
