If the cover doesn’t grab you, go back to sleep. And also some of the artworks are cropped (example: "iguanodon waterhole" by John Sibbick). There is even spreads for some great prehistoric panoramic scenes! My only criticism here is that the author left some other great paleoartists like James Gurney ( i am referring to his scientific paleoart, not his Dinotopia art) and Davide Bonadonna. The size of the book (31x28cm) insures that these great works of art are properly displayed. There are ten artists entailed in this volume, so consequentially there are scientific facts for ten species of dinosaur. And for each artist, there is scientific information about a selected dinosaur species and illustrations of that particular dinosaur by the artist. This is accompanied by a showcase of their art. The book is composed of interviews of some of the best paleoartists of today, discussing their method of work and other issues connected to palaeontology. Its two books in one, a dinosaur book and an art book.
