I don't have the book at hand, but I would check 'The Illustrated 
Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs' (David Norman, published by Salamander 
books in the late eighties I think), sister volume to 'The 
Illustrated Encyclopedia of Pterosaurs'.  Now a bit outdated 
(especially the (lack of) taxonomy (e.g. large and small theropods 
are still lumped in 'carnosauria' and 'coelurosauria' respectively)), 
but at the moment of publication the best popular dinosaur book, and 
full of life restorations by John Sibbick (who has done the 
(many!) skeletal drawings in it  too, if I'm not mistaken).
