The Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica: A Herpetofauna Between Two Continents, Between Two SeasThe Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica: A Herpetofauna Between Two Continents, Between Two Seas by JM Savage
Buy used from: £46.57
Probably the best and most comprehensive field guide available (although far too large to take into the field). It's worth paying extra for the hardback edition, due to it's large size. Essential.

A very thorough field guide, at a great price too.

Certainly by no means the best field guide in the world, and quite expensive for what it is. However for anyone interested in the herpetofauna of this country, this is the most up-to-date work.
