Re: REX APPEAL

I have a review of Rex Appeal coming out in New Scientist soon, and I also recommend it. It's part Pete Larson and part Sue, and together they work very well. -- Jeff Hecht

    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.
