"The need of a thorough Guide to life in the Jurassic becomes more and more urgent every day. The successful scholar and the casually curious alike cannot confine themselves to the narrow methods of former times. Specific roads of discovery are now called for in almost every case; the peculiarities of each require closer examination, separate methods must be devised by which complicated subjects can be studied more skillfully and completely. These are advanced methods, called for by the progress of the science and necessitated by the importance of the work required. It has been said by those most competent to judge that the Museum through persistent endeavor, broad enterprise, attentive study, and a real sense of the importance of the work has earned and occupies the foremost position in its branch of service."

Esoteric reading relating to the oddest museum in the world, the Museum of Jurassic Technology. A fitting souvenir of our visit. Makes your head hurt, trying to guess which parts are invented and which are real. (In a good way. )

Perfect.
I just loved it.
However, listing Ralph Rugoff as a benefactor was a giveaway.
Still, a lovely book to have; otherwise I'd have thought the museum was a dream.
