Also ordered the Dinosauria today (2nd ed), and alas it cost me much more than 30 on chapters.ca  The dinos were nagging me since yesterday to get it though--now I have to starve and deprive myself to pay for it. Great. I hope they're happy  ;D |

My birthday arrived two weeks early. Sea Monsters by Mike Everhart Lots of tylosaurus pics It isn't out or available online officially till Tuesday, but the computer said the bookstore had it in stock--so I go to Chapters in pouring rain, then it isn't on the shelves, so they had to go to the stockroom to get a copy. I can therefore say I am the first person in Vancouver, perhaps even North America, to be able to purchase a copy of Sea Monsters ;D I feel like the guy who got the new Harry Potter book a few days early ;D I paid cash, so the publisher can't trace me ;D |

It was at full-price  Most of the good pics involve the use of 3-D glasses, but either the 'glasses' (just 2 sheets of coloured paper) were made for the width of kids' faces or my eyesight is too astigmatic, but I can't see the 3-D effects  |

The Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Prehistoric World, consultant editor Douglas Palmer. The illustrations are decent but not great, except for those of the large theropods--this book has the most unpleasant 'drawing' of acrocanthosaurus I have ever come across, and t.rex itself is little better; I bought it because of the surprisingly extensive coverage of the vertebrate critters that lived before the dinosaurs. No giant bugs mercifully |

No giant bugs mercifully i bought that book as well but i havent got it yet. it was a back order  anyway i like it because its extensive on early reptiles. |

I got my copy from a clearance bookseller. Maybe it's now out of print?
