I used to live near a man called Ron Baxter who wrote a book called keeping and breeding tarantulas , it's a good book and he was very knowledgeable. I got my first brachypelmas from him a smith called Venus and a boehmi called gypsy.

Ron's book was fantastic for its time and even now it still beats the pants off most of the books available.
