I love this book. Very well-written and informative on dinosaurs. I especially enjoy the pages detailing certain dinosaur species as they give good info on the dinosaurs, especially where they lived and what museums house the species (if applicable).
This book is not stuck on fossils alone. It drives into human reaction, different theories through the years, even ones that have come to pass.
However, of course you see fossils, you see places on the earth where fossils are more abundant, individual profiles of some species, the rules of the amateur collector and much more.
