Hi All! -
Could it be "Dinosaurs Past and Present: Volumes I and
II", Edited by Sylvia J. Czerkas and Everett C. Olsen,
published in 1987? Greg Paul's chapter was entitled,
"The Science and Art of Restoring the Life Appearance
of Dinosaurs and Their Relatives: A Rigorous How-To
Guide."
I'm fairly certain this one wasn't it -- the book was a very
large, thick tome dedicated exclusively to scientific illustration --
it had chapters on the proper drawing of insects, birds, etc., all by
different authors (I think). I have a vague memory that the cover was
dark green (with all sorts of other pictures overprinted on it). I
also vaguely recall that Greg's chapter was pretty lengthy, although I
don't recall looking at it for long. Sorry for the confusion...if
anyone else knows of this, I'm still eager to track it down (no, it's
not for me -- I couldn't draw my way out of a paper bag...heck, even
my stick figures look like Quasimodo!).

of fungal, algal or prokaryotic groups on
the basis of a partial reptilian fossil and
protein sequences from mice and
humans is like trying to decipher
Demotic Egyptian with the help of an
odometer and the Oxford English
