Default Gecko books?

I have a strong urge to learn everything about geckos, and I'm trying to locate the best books about them in general.

Can people point me in the right direction? I'm looking for "the gecko bible" that includes all genus, distribution and perhaps some small notes on care for the specific species.



I might have put this topic in the wrong category, if so sorry..


Thanks

I believe it´s a little hard to find a one book that covers ALL geckos, you could be more lucky to look for books about specific species or genus, IMO

Ok, that might work aswell. Do you have any suggestions?
