Yea!!  I've been waiting for a while to see this get published!!

(No, I don't have any chapters in there, but I've seen a few of them
already).

This book will have a number of good review articles, a few new dinosaur
taxa (maybe some new non-dinosaurs, too: don't know as I haven't seen those
papers).  Some aspects of the chapters have crept their way into other,
already published books (for example, in The Complete Dinosaur and
Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs).

P.S.  Concerning _Sinornithosaurus_: this might be the latest theropod to be
described from the Yixian, but it is NOT the last!!
