Re: Books for a paleoartist: suggestions?

["David Marjanovic" <david.marjanovic@gmx.at>]

 

I've read much on list about Don Glut's "Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia" and the 2 supplements; a $300 investment isn't a big problem for me if it's worth doing it. Or is there a better choice for me? I'd like to have your opinion and suggestions.

I don't know if the above have enough skeletal reconstructions and photos for you (they have some but aren't exactly stuffed with them). But IMHO you should have them all anyway :-) . I'm just reading Supplement 2, and despite being chock full of typos, it's easily worth its price. These books cover pretty much everything that has happened in dinosaurology up to their respective deadlines, and they are based on primary literature which is sometimes completely inaccessible.
