Hmmmm...., hurm....,
Um, I guess "wait until the publication comes out"? :-)
In brief: lots of dinosaurs, a few non-dinosaurs, how to dig and prepare
dinosaurs, and more. However, absolutely NO instructions on cloning your
own dinosaur: that is proprietary information of JPI and their owners, InGen
Corporation.
And "toot, toot" [= tooting my own horn], another forthcoming book for the
kiddies:

sc_b_12/107-2902016-5238951
The Little Giant Book of Dinosaurs, text by me, illustrations by Terry Riley
(i.e., don't blame me for the art...). One of the first dinosaur book for
the 9-12 year old crowd organized on cladistic lines.
