Jackson, M. 2017. Book Review: A Field Guide to the Tiger Beetles of the United States and Canada: Identification, Natural History, and Distribution of the Cicindelinae (Second Edition). The Coleopterists Bulletin 71(3): 530-531.

"Unfortunately, I have also found that some of the new additions feel unnecessary, and to make matters worse, that the authors have chosen a new and unsupported taxonomy that threatens to invalidate this second edition before it leaves the shelf."

Tiger Beetles of Alberta: Killers on the Clay, Stalkers on the Sand

By John Acorn
University of Alberta Press, 2001

This work has lovely photographs, good range maps, and interesting life histories. Many of the species from Alberta are widespread, so this book is useful for those in the United States as well.

Tiger Beetles: A Field Guide and Identification Manual for Florida and Eastern U.S.

By Paul Merrill Choate
University Press of Florida, 2003

Excellent--many color illustrations of living and pinned specimens. It does cover the entire eastern US, and I believe all, or practically all, eastern species are illustrated.
