Egypt’s Prehistoric Fauna Nature Foldout on Facebook
A lovely note from paleontologist Matthew Lamanna today on Facebook:
A totally shameless plug: over the past year or so, I’ve had the privilege to consult for a very talented artist and author, Dominique Navarro, on a booklet, Egypt’s Prehistoric Fauna, that is part of her AUC Press Nature Foldouts series. The booklet, although necessarily brief, is crammed full of excellent illustrations and (if I do say so myself) lots of information about Egyptian dinosaurs, crocs, and fossil mammals. If you’re interested in these sorts of things, please consider picking up the Prehistoric Fauna booklet (it’s available at Amazon, for instance) and liking the Foldouts Facebook page. Thanks!
Matt, thanks so much for your enthusiasm and support on this project!
Here’s the link to Amazon for Egypt’s Prehistoric Fauna

The imagery on this foldout is beautiful and successfully caught my right away. It was also very informative, and I enjoyed reading about Egypt’s creatures.
Thanks so much Elizabeth!

Aboudy Bookstore, next to the Passport Office in Luxor, is carrying the AUC Press Nature Foldouts. Their fantastic selections of books includes rare out-of-print finds and books I didn’t even know to exist, like Richard Hoath’s “Egyptian Spring” from 1992, and Salima Ikram’s “A Zoo for Eternity; Animal Mummies from the Cairo Museum”.
The owner and clerk were as friendly as ever, and really encouraging about the Nature Foldouts. They only have one copy left of Birds of the Nile Valley!
