Extreme Dinosaurs [Hardcover]

Robert Mash (Author), Stuart Martin (Illustrator)

Book Description

"Extreme Dinosaurs" takes the hugely popular subject of dinosaurs and presents it in an entirely new and dynamic format. Using colourful, newly commissioned illustrations, only the very extreme dinosaurs feature here, from the huge and lumbering Brachiosaurus to the terrifyingly ferocious Giganotosaurus and the tiny Microraptor. Imaginative text offers a vivid description and detailed information about these extraordinary creatures; including unusual facts and fascinating statistics. This approach covers all the information that any self-respecting dinosaur fanatic would expect to see, but what really sets this book apart are the fantastic special items, Impeccably designed and impossible to ignore, "Extreme Dinosaurs" tells you everything you ever wanted to know about the dinosaurs that made the record books.

This review is from: Extreme Dinosaurs (Hardcover)

We were looking for a specific book and found it through this seller. New the book was around $20.00, and through the seller less than $2.00 not including shipping. So we were glad to find this book used. We expected the book to be in very good shape and it arrived with a broken binder and the cover was missing an ornamental eye. Some loose materials included in a new book were also missing, but unless one knew the book that would have been easily overlooked. The package was shipped nicely in bubble wrap, but still could have broken the binding during shipping. When the seller was contacted our money was returned and an apology given. We would still consider buying from this seller.
