Glut Supplement #2 Out Now

[Mike Taylor <mike@tecc.co.uk>]

Morning All,

No-one seems to have mentioned this yet, but Supplement #2 to Donald
F. Glut's outstanding _Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia_ is finally out,
and available to buy at amazon --
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/078641166X/thedinosaurrea0a

I've just ordered mine, along with the core volume, to join the firsy
Supplement which I bought a while back.  For anyone who's not familiar
with these books, they are about as comprehensive -- and readable --
as you could possibly wish.  Rather than blither on, I'll just pass on
to you what Matt Wedel told me when he was persuading me to spend what
seemed at the time like a lot of money:

        Date: Thu, 01 Feb 2001 16:56:33 -0600
        From: Matt Wedel <sauropod@ou.edu>
        To: Mike Taylor <mike@tecc.co.uk>
        Subject: Re: DML

        Don Glut's Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia is perhaps the most
        useful book on dinosaurs ever published.  Lavishly
        illustrated, fully referenced (THE go-to book for obscure
        references), and at $145.00 US, definitely a steal.  I push
        this book on everyone I correspond with.  I honestly use it
        more than all the other books and journals in my library
        combined.  None of the other dinosaur dictionaries or
        encyclopedias, whatever their provenance, even come close to
        this massive tome in terms of sheer volume of information, or
        good, scientific illustrations, or references, or anything.
        I'm telling you, this is the book.

... and for whatever it's worth, my experience with the first
Supplement bears out this lavish praise.

Hope this is helpful.  Most of you lucky guys won't even have to wait
for amazon's slug-like intercontinental shipping :-)
