Re: David Norman book

[Michael Skrepnick <palaeopaint@dinosaursinart.com>]

My edition ( which is the first English edition ) hardcover, was printed in
England by Salamander Books and published and distributed by Crescent Books
/ Crown Publishers Inc. in New York in 1985.  Title was still "The
Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs". ISBN 0-517- 468905.

The copy I have of "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Pterosaurs" hardcover,
is dated 1991 (copyright Wellnhofer / Salamander Books) and is the same as
above, except distributed by Outlet Book Company / Random House.  This is
not noted as a first edition however, so there may have been a previous
release on this one.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Mike Skrepnick
