More information than you probably ever wanted to know about IDing slugs and snails but an amazing resource about identifying slugs and snails.

Books

Slugs and Snails of the Pacific Northwest

Great guide to all the species found in the PNW. Includes all the species found in AK. Can be a bit overwhelming but a great resource.

Slugs of Britain and Ireland

Another great book about slugs and snails. And since most of our non-native species are from Europe many of our species are included. Also has a great tutorial on dissection for identification.

Terrestrial Slugs: Biology, ecology and control

The comprehensive biology textbook about slugs. Lots of interesting information, but dense and pricy. Look for a used version.
