[Linda Lipko · Rating 4 out of 5]

This large, coffee table book, contains wonderful images of the authors who are paleontologists responsible for pulling together the incredible exhibit of an extensive collection of dinosaurs to be found in the new Hall of Dinosaurs in the NY Natural History Museum. A wide collection, painstakingly, bone by bone put together.

Using words, images and behind the scenes photos of this incredible work.
