Here you go
1 PLA2 a complex multifunctional protien puzzle
2 molecular biology of snake venom PLA2
3 venom PLA2 genes and their molecule evolution
4 PLA2 structure and catalytic properties
5 letal potency of snake venom PLA2 enzymes
6 pitfals to avoid in the study of correlations between enzymatic activity and pharmacological properties of PLA2
7 chemical modifications and functional sites of PLA2
8 interaction of snake venom PLA2 with plant isolates
9 antibody studies with venom PLA
10 monomeric PLA2 neurotoxins
11 multicomponent neurotoxic PLA2
12 myotoxic PLA from snake venoms, general myoglobinuric and local myonecrotic toxins
13 PLA2 myotoxins from bothrops snake venom
14 the anticoagulant effects of snake venom PLA2
15 effects of PLA2 enzymes on platelet aggregation
16 membrane receptors for venom PLA2
17 the cellular effects and mechanisms of action of presynaptically acting PLA2 toxins
18 molecular events in the myotoxic action of PLA
A good book at £80-90 is "Handbook of clinical toxicology of animal venoms and poisons" Jurg Meier & Julian White.

Hi paleoherp,
The "Handbook of Natural Toxins volume 5 Reptile Venoms and Toxins" by Anthony Tu, is an excellent reference book. It contains 24 chapters, in 3 parts. Part 1 has 14 chapters about the "Action of Snake Venoms", and 8 chapters on "Clinical Aspects" of snake venoms. Part 2 is about lizards, with 1 chapter, and part 3 is 1 chapter on amphibians.It is 827 pages long, and although it was published in 1991, it is still relevant today.
I agree with "Rabies" that another book to consider is "Handbook oc Clinical Toxocology of Animal Venoms and Toxins" by Julian White and Jurg Meier, thi deals more with the clinical aspects of animal envenomation and poisoning, and is another excellent reference book, that, I am sure is still used by medical staff dealing with envenomations and poisonings by various animals,and it came out in 1994.
Good luck with your search, and happy reading.
Brian.
