Hey Mark,

    TMK, Osborns Proboscida volume has not been reprinted. My 1980 revised
titanothere volume has new editing by Stephen J. Gould, and the second
volume has Osborn's Titanotheres of Mongolia in the appendix. It is a Arno
Press book. They may have re-released other important paleontology books,
without common knowledge.
