I'll give you the next best thing.  The web page for Kinokuniya Book Stores
of America Company, Inc. provides a directory of their stores, which
include numerous California and Asian locations as well as one in New York
and one in New Jersey.  Here's the web site you need:

Or perform a web site search on "Kinokuniya Book Stores."  I didn't see a
way to order the book on-line, but the site gives you addresses and phone
numbers for every store, so you can ring them up.  The stores don't stock
the book, you must order it and wait.  But it's well worth it.  It costs
about $51.00 plus shipping.  Here's the information you will need to order:

Paul, Gregory S., _The Complete Illustrated Guide to Dinosaur Skeletons_,
published by Gakken Mook, 1996, ISBN4-05-400656-6

For those of you unfamiliar with the book, it was published in Japan, and
is written in Japanese, but includes a small-print English translation at
the back of the book.  It is 96 pages long, including 15 pages of color
plates with life restorations of dinosaurs, and numerous skeletal
reconstructions, many from a variety of angles.  The text describes how to
restore the life appearance of dinosaurs, dinosaur speed and behavior, the
salient features of various dinosaur groups, and Mesozoic landscapes.  I
believe that there is a review (a favorable review, of course) of the book
at the "Dinosaur Art and Modeling" web site.  Order yours today!
