It also includes brief entries on all 800+ named species of Mesozoic dinosaurs, as well as sidebars by 33 world-famous paleontologists--among them Robert T. Bakker, Jack Horner, Mark Norell, Scott Sampson, and Philip Currie. With 428-pages of lavish, museum-quality illustrations, and an exhaustive Web site maintained by the author of supplemental chapter updates, this the perfect gift that will educate AND entertain for many, many, MANY hours (And if that isn't enough, the jacket has a spectacular poster printed on the inside.)

"Written in a casual language both young and adult paleo-nerds will find readable and enjoyable, this volume is seen as the Dinosaur Bible by many enthusiasts of the subject, for its sheer completeness and scienciness." --tvtropes.org
