Re: memory lane dinosaurs
You may want to try using the "Interlibrary loan program" with your local
library. It works great for me for stuff like this.
Ok, a shameless plug. My son (Garrett seven years old) has been given a
project due April 13th giving him the opportunity to teach others in his
"Primary Reach" class about Cryptozoology. The "Reach" program offers extra
studies that focus on critical thinking, analytical thinking, creativity and
independent learning.
He is in need of tools/items that he can use to teach/show/help his class to
understand Cryptozoology as a scientific discipline, focusing on the
scientific investigation of mystery animals. He is working on a "creative
file folder", if you have any objects, equipment, clothing/costume, books,
magazines, or pictures to help teach and enhance his presentation and
willing to share, that would be great!
I would be more than happy to pay any freight or postage and return any
items loaned after his presentation.
Thank you very much,
Ed Reinertsen

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
