I have had Jon Cootes book "Garter Snakes and Their Allies" for years.....It holds no surprises, just the usual "how to house snakes", "how to heat the viv", blah blah blah...and a few mediocre black and white plates. Unless you're a total novice you probably wouldn't want it. Plus the species list is now out dated, even though the book was only published in 1993.
Roger Sweeney's book "Garter Snakes" is a little better by virtue of it's individual species descriptions and distribution maps.
Non come close to Rossman's Garter Snakes, Evolution and Ecology.
