new book on italian dinosaurs

[Silvio Renesto <renesto@mailserver.unimi.it>]

Dear all,
         just for your knowledge (I am not among the authors, so it is not 
self promotion)  that a high level divulgation book (this is the aim of the 
authors) on all the so far discovered  italian dinosaurs has been published.
 It should be already available, surely it'll be around Xmas. In many 
cases not only specimens but also localities, geology, paleoenvironments 
etc. are described.
The preface is by Phil Currie.
Scypionyx, The saltriosaur (unnamed theropod from Saltrio) , the adrosaur 
from  Trieste  are featured, along with dinosaur trackways and  other non 
dinosaurian stuff, like  the shastasaurid ichthyosaur Besanosaurus, the 
pterosaur Eudimorphodon,  and Tanystropheus.
It is on the cheap side (29,000 it lire, about 15 US dollars), paperback 
with BW  photos & illustrations.  Good photos and very nice artwork but, 
**you are warned**, it is written in Italian  :-/

For those who may be interested:
