From: Danvarner@aol.com To: dinosaur@usc.edu Subject: Upon This Rock Pt.2 and PDW Message-ID: <f3afbf13.24f2cbf5@aol.com">f3afbf13.24f2cbf5@aol.com> I haven't heard from anyone yet, but so far the earliest trade book solely devoted to dinosaurs I've been able to discover is _The Dinosaurs, A Short History of a Great Group of Extinct Reptiles_by William E. Swinton, London, Thomas Murby and Co., 1934. There used to be a copy of this at the Minneapolis Public Library when I was a kid. It was illustrated with photographs of sculptures (by Vernon Edwards?) in minature natural settings that were really quite nice. The other contender would be W.D.Matthew's _Dinosaurs_,1915, a publication of the American Museum of Natural History and probably only available from the museum.>> Hi Dan!......8^( . You don`t like smiley
face???? ....anyway, does "Dragons of the Air" count by Seeley
1901?
and,...adressing Jeff Hect since the topic now is also PDW,
who said:
<< (snip)...unfortunately, good color
printing technology remains much more expensive, which is a problem for things like PDW.)>> Why would that be a problem for a book with no color
illustrations?? (I know..."gnit"
picking...8^)
