RE: Crappy Old Dinosaur Books

Your email makes me laugh, because I remember spending long summer nights at 
the age of 15 drawing the 'thunder lizard' and their version of Stegosaurus. 
 How does that Allosaur even walk!  My favorite part if about the 
Brachisaurs who were (and I'm paraphrasing) 'too big and stupid to ever 
leave the water'  Still, I keep the book as a fond reminder of old ideas and 
artistic rendition.
