Dinosaur information book?

[TJ_Terrorsaur]

I've been searching every Barnes & Noble and some other book stores (non chain) for a good Dinosaur Information book. I want one that's aimed at young adults or adults, the ones I keep finding at the book stores are the ones aimed at the little ones. Does anyone have a good book recommendation? I want to learn more about dinosaurs and learn to identify the many many others.
Thanks in advance everyone.

This blog post lists a lot of good ones. I would also highly recommend Holtz's Dinosaurs: The Most Complete, Up-to-Date Encyclopedia for Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages. Greg Paul's The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs is another good one, though some of the taxonomy is pretty wonky (he is a very big fan of lumping genera together).

1stly, don't bother w/Barnes & Noble. Amazon.com is a much better source of dino info.

2ndly, that's a hard question to answer. For 1, it depends on whether you're a casual reader, an enthusiast, or a specialist ( http://whenpigsfly-returns.blogspot.com/2008/04/paleo-reading-list.html ). For another, it depends on whether you're looking for general books about dinos or books on special topics. Assuming you're a casual reader looking for general books about dinos, read on.

Holtz's Dinosaurs: The Most Complete, Up-to-Date Encyclopedia for Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375824197 ) & Gardom/Milner's The Natural History Museum Book of Dinosaurs ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/184442183X ) are the best encyclopedic & non-encyclopedic dino books, respectively, for casual readers. Taylor's review of the former ( http://www.miketaylor.org.uk/dino/books/index.html#hr2007 ) & The Book Depository's description of the latter ( http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Natural-History-Museum-Dinosaurs-Tim-Gardom/9781844421831?b=-3&t=-20#Fulldescription-20 ) sum up most of the reasons why, but not the most important reason: Holtz & the NHM keeps updates on Supplementary Information for Holtz's Dinosaurs ( http://www.geol.umd.edu/~tholtz/dinoappendix/ ) & The Dino Directory ( http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/life/dinosaurs-other-extinct-creatures/dino-directory/index.html ), respectively, when parts of said books become outdated.

This blog post lists a lot of good ones.

Many thanks for the shout out!

Keep in mind, that book is often sold in the Kids section at Barnes N Noble

Thanks again guys I will have to look into the ones you've mentioned.

I was looking for a book sort of like this one. I had this book and was hoping there was a dinosaur variant.
