Only second best
to the world of Phelsuma is this book. Though generally very helpful and nice, some of the info (especially latin names) is not up to date, some species are missing (Phelsuma Pronki, Phelsuma Masohoala etc.) due to their recent discovery. If you are able of reading german, I can only advise you to get a copy of the amazing book:

Faszinierende Taggeckos - Gattung Phelsuma Authors: Hallmann/Krueger/Trautmann

This is the bible of Phelsuma friends.
