I got my copy at SVP and have started reading through it. You did a good job
and I think it will certainly be one of my top references for use. I think
it would be a great book for class use. I have added the reference to my
list of recommended dinosaur reference material on my web pages. Thanks for
those 6 years I know I appreciate the work this new book represents and you
should indeed be proud of this baby!!!!
