Dinosaurian info in a small package

Like nearly every Golden Guide I own, "Dinosaurs" is a pleasure to peruse. The price is right too. This little book is informative and the illustrations that adorn its wee pages are a visual treat. The sections about dentation and bone structure are particularly interesting (although the part about carnivore dentation (pages 68 and 69) is a bit confusing; two head drawings clearly representing one type of dinosaur are shown, but each drawing is attributed to a different dinosaur. Does the head belong to a Tyrannosaurus or Allosaurus? I vote for the T-Rex.). If you love dinosaurs and want to learn more about them, Golden Guide's "Dinosaurs" is a good place to start.
