Very interested in these.  The first seems comparable to The Complete Dinosaur while the second is perhaps more like GSP's Dinosaur Field Guide.  I certainly hope that's the case.

I have both of them on my wishlist. A pterosaur version of the PTG would be dream come true....now we just need one for marine reptiles.

As one of the resident pterosaur fanatics - I have already pre-ordered both from Amazon. I am looking forward to both of them.

So you'll probably get them before any of us!  Be sure to let us know what you think of them!

I like the draws. Nyctosaurus is cool  .

I second that!!

Why isn't there a hardcover version of the second book ?

You might recall my mentioning the Mark Witton book a little while ago, Zopteryx.

I expect this is probably a self-published book, too.

And I agree, I'd love such a book for marine reptiles as well.

I do recall.

I agree as well, although it might be difficult to include all marine reptiles as that's not a natural grouping like dinosaurs or pterosaurs.  A guide to sauropterygians gives you a lot, but then your excluding ichthyosaurs, mosasaurs, and a few others.

You know what else would be awesome, a guide to prehistoric crurotarsi.  Just think of all the ancient bizarre crocs and croc-like critters it would include!

Pterosaur books by Mark Witton should be really good.

I had a short e-mail conversation with Mark Witton a few months ago.

I cannot provide spoilers or inside details - I did not ask for any (on purpose), my inquiry was solely about when the book would be released.

Very pleasant correspondence. I eagerly await the release.
