I bought a book at Borders last night.
A big picture book about Dinosaurs.
One that is way too big.
Like 17x14 and a half inches big.
It's just called Dinosaurs.
It was in the "We know you'll never buy these, but you'd be disappointed if we didn't offer them" section.
But I did buy it
Because of two words
Actual Size
The microraptor has a two page picture of it
And that picture is labeled MICRORAPTOR (actual size)
So for that reason alone I bought it.
It's turning out to be a really nice book though.
They put feathers on T-Rex and made him look like a punk rocker
The book was printed in October 2008
This is the most up to date information we've got about them
We know they had feathers now
We were wrong all this time
It's from a printing company in England
And the price is only labeled in pounds
But someone sold it here anyway
You can get it at Amazon.com and .co.uk
If you want to have a huge book about dinosaurs that is.
Or you want to see pictures of Archaeopteryx
In Actual Size

This was entertaining on multiple levels.

It's sort of poetry for the Web 2.0 age.

Kewl.

ETA: "sort of" is conversational laziness creeping in. It *IS* poetry for the Web 2.0 age. My apologies.

No need to apologize. I know what you meant to say.

This book does rock though.
