REX APPEAL

["dinotracker" <dinotracker@earthlink.net>]

    Pardon this is it has already been mentioned on this list.

    Today I was in a bookstore and saw what to me is a new book (published
2002):

Rex Appeal: The Amazing Story of Sue, the Dinosaur That Changed Science, the
Law, and My Life
by Peter L. Larson, Kristin Donnan (the actual writer), Robert Bakker
(introduction).

    I'm glad I didn't buy it for the retail $26.95 (U.S. dollars), because
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1931229074/qid%3D1028679392/sr%3D11-1
/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/103-8844437-4208635 has it for $18.87.  That's a 30%
savings, before postage.

    Anyhow, the story seems to be well-told and to have all the details of
the Sue story from the inside, and lots of fascinating photos, etc.

    Of course I didn't succeed in reading it all standing there in the book
store, but I got the impression that it may be the most interesting thing
yet written on the Sue episode.  There are a lot of nice color photos, too.
