Well, not quite.

As I mentioned in my review of the book in this March's issue of Quarterly
Reviews of Biology, there have been some important work on tyrannosaurs
which didn't make it into the book, including the various isotope work on
dinosaurs, as well as some relatively minor work on tyrannosaur foot
biomechanics and the phylogenetic position of the Tyrannosauridae ;-)

Also, a few specimens have been found post-writing of the Complete T. rex
(the "r" should never be capitalized, and there is no hyphen) which are
fairly complete, including Stan.

But still, a pretty good book.
