When I was an elementary school kid, one of the books that made a big
impact on me was _Danger: Dinosaurs_, written by Richard Marsten (a pen

Morrison-ish fauna?--the story had a time travel paradox element that
impressed by sixth-grade self immensely. Turns out that if you traveled
back in time and got squashed by Jurassic dinosaurs, this means that you
died before you were born, which meant that you never really existed at
all!
I would love to read this story again, but when I have priced the book
on Amazon etc. the sticker price leaves me gasping--typically $50-75.
Now, I don't need a copy of the actual book. Has anybody ever seen a
reprint or electronic version of this book at a cheaper price?
Here's the cover - way cool
