I don't know if there are firm plans to rewrite it (I have my own ideas on
some important changes... :-).

However, two books that may help serve to update are the forthcoming Farlow
& Brett-Surman _The Complete Dinosaur_ and the Currie and Padian (or is it
Padian & Currie?) Dinosaur Encylcopedia.

And, given the way dinosaur science progresses, there is no way to buy a
dinosaur book that isn't at least partly out of date by the time it comes
from the printers...
