Colbert and Seeley



By luck, I found a 2nd-hand copy of Edwin H. Colbert's "The Dinosaurs Book" (the very edition that Tracy Ford mention last month) so I bought it at once. I occassionally come across old dinosaur books (and a hardbound copy of Bakker's "Raptor Red") in the 2nd-hand bookstores I frequent. Would it be useful if I post here their titles for anyone's interest?

I'm also searching for H.G. Seeley's "Dragons of the Air." My alma mater's library has one (the Dover edition); but I couldn't findany Penguin Books reprint; and I'm not interested (yet) in the e-Book versions. BTW, how well known is it among the public that Seeley coined the names Saurischia and Ornithischia? Almost everywhere Sir Richard Owens is mentioned as coining the word Dinosauria, but what about Seeley?
