[Rarebooks] fs: A lot of books on Dinosaurs & Ancient Animals

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

Dino, dino,
in a tree.
Come and make
a meal of me.

Oop. These books are obviously warping my brain. Someone take them off my 
hands for $100.00 net, plus $10 postage.


Currie, Philip J. & Kevin Padian.  "ENCYCLOPEDIA OF DINOSAURS"  Academic 
Press:1997. Could this fabulous book really be out of print already?  It 
appears to be so.  Academic Press has none, and nobody else appears to 
either.  That's a real pity, because this is one hellacious 
book.  Encyclopedic in format, well illustrated and carefully written, this 
volume is a must for anybody interested in dinosaurs.  And it weighs about 
ten pounds! Hardcover. 9"x11", 869 pages, b&w and color illustrations, dj; 
as new.

Dodson, Peter.  "THE HORNED DINOSAURS.  A NATURAL HISTORY"  Princeton 
University Press:1996. The first "popular" study of ceratopsians, those 
weird and wacky, lovable creatures which roamed the North American plains 
many years ago.  A cool book with some very cool paintings by Wayne D. 
Barlow. Hardcover. 6.5"x9.5", 346 pages, b&w, line and color illustrations, 
dj.  New.

Eldredge, Niles.  "FOSSILS.  THE EVOLUTION AND EXTINCTION OF SPECIES"  New 
York; Harry N. Abrams: 1991. The fascinating exploration of fossils 
overturns the traditional view of evolution as a slow and inevitable 
process and shows that lifeforms generally do not evolve to any significant 
degree until after massive extinction.  This rhythm of life- stability 
punctuated by bursts of change -is revealed by the fossilized remains of 
the earth's ancient flora and fauna. Hardcover. 10.5"x11.5", 220 pages, 
packed with many color and a few b/w illustrations, dj. A fine copy in a 
fine jacket.

Jacobs, Louis.  "QUEST FOR THE AFRICAN DINOSAURS.  ANCIENT ROOTS OF THE 
MODERN WORLD"  New York; Villard Books:1993. "In 1981, when a young 
paleontologist named Louis Jacobs found his way from Arizona to Africa, the 
wheels were set in motion for 'a gripping adventure'." Hardcover. 7"x9.5", 
314 pages, drawings by the author; dj; a fine copy.

Louderback, George D. & Charles L. Camp.  "THE STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS OF 
THE JUNG HSIEN FOSSIL DINOSAUR IN THE SZECHUAN RED BEDS OF CHINA [and] 
DINOSAUR REMAINS FROM THE PROVINCE OF SZECHAUN, CHINA" Berkeley; University 
of California Press:1935. An offprint from the Bulletin of the Department 
of Geological Sciences, University of California Publications, Vol. 23, 
No.14 and 15. Softcover. 6.5"x10", 14 pages, 2 text illustrations and 1 
plate; several small stamps on the cover.

Miller, Loye Holmes. "CONTRIBUTIONS TO AVIAN PALEONTOLOGY FROM THE PACIFIC 
COAST OF NORTH AMERICA" Berkeley; University of California Press:1912. An 
offprint from the University of California Bulletin of the Department of 
Geology, Vol.7, No.5. Softcover. 7"x10.5", 55 pages, card covers; covers 
lightly chipped in a few places, but otherwise a nice, unopened copy of a 
fragile pamphlet.

Wetmore, Alexander. "NOTES ON FOSSIL AND SUBFOSSIL BIRDS"  Smithsonian 
Miscellaneous Collections Vol.145, No.2; Charles D. and Mary Vaux Walcott 
Research Fund:1962. Based in large part on material at the U.S. National 
Museum. Softcover. 6.5"x9.5", 17 pages, several text figures.
