Customer Reviews

Beautiful, super-cool dinos, incredible buy for the price!

This is the real deal! Walters is one of only a handful of artists qualified to create scientifically grounded anatomical reconstructions of prehistoric animals. The great thing is that his dino paintings are stunningly detailed, gloriously colored and eye-poppingly cool! Amazingly, this big, beautuful book of incredible dino art is about half the price of anything comparable.
