        The last time Dodson and I yacked about this particular topic, he 
mentioned that he had brought the subject up with Weishampel at SVP in 
NYC because he had thought a 10th anniversary 2nd edition might be a good 
thing.  He said that David got flustered, said he didn't even want to 
talk about it right now, and changed the subject quickly.  The Dinosauria 
was a monumental piece of work in the late '80s.  It is going to be even 
worse this time.  I don't think they want to deal with the workload just 
yet.

        Buy the 1st edition.  Incidentally, I really hate softcover books 
and found that I can indeed replace my battered and worn first copy, in 
hardcover, from Berkeley.  So, if you want a hardcover copy, I suspect 
you can get one.

Cheers,
-Josh
