Dinosaur Clip Art Book
Dover Publishing has just released a new title in their Dover Clip Art
Series: _Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Mammals Illustrations_ by Bob
Giuliani. These are "98 different copyright-free designs printed one
side."
Many of the drawings are based on models and drawings (with some changes)
that most of you would probably recognize. The Tyrannosaurus on page 2
of the Dover book is pretty much the Tyrannosaurus on page 14 of the Dorling
Kindersley book _Tyrannosaurus_; the Stegosaurus on page 16 of the Dover
book is based on the Czerkas sculpture; the "Ankylosaurus" on page 28
bears more than a passing similarity to the John Sibbick Euoplocephalus
on page 164 of David Norman's _The Illustrated Encyclopedia of
Dinosaurs_, etc. etc.
Price is $5.95 and you can probably find it at the "better" bookstores
like Borders and Barnes & Noble, as well as some art supply houses.
The illustrations are at least more representative of modern views of
dinosaurs than most other clip art available. But... I would much rather
see a clip art book produced by Franczak, Paul, or Wenzel. (This is a
not-so-subtle hint to the Dinosaur Society.)
