DUDE!! LOL I *loved* _Dinosaur Heresies_ AND _Raptor Red_ {:^D I also am a huge
fan of Baker! Loved the scene in JP when Timmy (Not *that* Timmy, AFOLs;) meets Dr
Grant and quotes Baker regarding the dinos to birds thing-- great stuff! How about
the likeness of him in Lost World;-)
Another book that I love is _Predatory Dinosaurs_ by Gregory Paul. I'd love to talk
dinos with you all day! I especially enjoy the dinos>birds debate-- although short
of buying all of the latest model dinos, I have been out of the loop in terms of
breaking news on the dino front.
Hey, we could even go off-topic and talk about the new dinolegos coming out this
year! WOO-HOO!
