Without going overboard with detail, it presents all the important facts and more. It provides good history leading up to the controversy. Finally, this one has very interesting photos of the actual areas where these fossils were discovered so the aspect of topography/geology is clearer.This helped me visualize the collecting scenes better. Also, it's out of print and available for a song right now. Excellent book! Written by a professor who grew up in one of the areas where the fossils are found and he really knows his stuff."; 8.7 X 6.1 X 0.9 inches; 285 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
