You'll NEVER look at dinosaurs the same way AGAIN!

When I was a young teenager who was really into dinosaurs, I discovered this very curious and mysterious book all about dinosaurs in a local library near my home. It was oh, so lavishly illustrated by the reowned fantasy artist, William Stout and this means it is simply NOT still another scientific book on prehistoric life. Instead, it is a very intimate insight into the lives of each of your most favorite dinosaur which reads just like a very gothic novel-style tale that describes just about EVERYTHING from a dinosaur's shudder at the very first nip of cold to its very last moaning gasp right after it was killed in a battle. And boy, the art is NOTHING like you've ever seen before! In fact, the whole book is so lusciously painted in the gothically fantastic style - that HUGE picture of the great, hulking stegosaurus slowly drawing back to strike back at its toothy foe just about BLEW my socks right off! Too bad it's out of print right now - but if you're a dinosaur fanatic, you'd thank the stars again and again if you could get ahold of this marvelous book!
