Spiders of North America: An Identification Manual

By D. Ubick, P. Paquin, P.E. Cushing and V. Roth (eds)
American Arachnological Society, 2005

Guide to spider families and genera found in North America north of Mexico. Includes ID keys and hundreds of black and white illustrations. The keys and figures are quite technical, so beginners may want to look elsewhere. On the other hand, armed with the anatomy figures in the introduction, it can't hurt to dive in and get started! My only gripe so far is that it does not provide much information about specific species.

The most useful single resource for anyone curious about the mechanics and biology of spiders. Text is very well illustrated by line drawings, traditional photographs, and SEM images.
