Ok, so my girlfriend made it a "geeky" Christmas for me.
1. a black ballcap with a D20 showing all the sides as 20s as the graphic on the front.
2. a necklace with a gold spiral ball that holds a d20 as a charm.
3. A black tee shirt with a decal of one of those "Hello, My Name is" stickers they have at conventions and reunions and stuff. It has "Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." on the decal like it was written in. I love this tee shirt...
4. Not so geeky, but a new pair of cowboy boots.

The book I saw was somewhere around 15-18" in height. Maybe an 1 1/2 inches thick or so, can't recall the cover though. Big print with big pictures?
Different book then. Mine is about 12" high and around an inch thick. It has 23 chapters covering different dinosaur groups (including birds), plus other chapters on biology, extinction, and more.
The breakdown is based on more recent scientific study, such as the term Carnosaur applying to the group that includes Allosaurus and not all theropods. Carnosaurs get one chapter to themselves, as do the spinosauroids and the Tyrannosauroids.

How about page count? How big is the print? Is it mostly text or pictures?EileenProphetofIstus wrote:The book I saw was somewhere around 15-18" in height.
