While I haven't seen the Terrible Lizards book you mentioned, I do give a 
hearty endorsement to McGowan's book.  I received my copy last week, and 
although the price is a little steep, it is a very interesting read that 
concentrates on the British fossil pioneers.  It is one of the better "history 
of paleontology" books that I've seen.
