Princeton University Press 50% off Book Sale

[Gwangi]

I just caught wind of this sale last night so I'm not sure when it started. PUP is having a 50% off sale on select books until May 31st. I ordered The Princeton Field Guide to Pterosaurs, The Princeton Field Guide to Mesozoic Sea Reptiles, and Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior. There are other paleontology books on sale too. Use discount code BLOOM50 at checkout.

I got really excited to see all these new dinosaur encyclopedias but then I realized they're all coming out in 2026 and so I can't get them yet.

Yeah! Those caught my eye too. And I got excited about The Princeton Field Guide to Prehistoric Plants but that's not out until October. At least I was able to catch up on other Princeton Field Guides.

This is the first I'd heard of the Mesozoic plants field guide! That's very exciting news. I'm also glad to see that GS Paul isn't involved. Plant taxonomy is complicated enough without idiosyncratic opinions muddling it.

I would be happy if GSP just stuck to paleoart.

As controversial as Paul's paleontological takes are, his books are, for better or for worse, some of the only available examples of modern up-to-date field guide style books about prehistoric creatures that aren't geared specifically toward children.

I wish there were more books in this style, illustrated guides that break down the different dinosaur groups and genera. The Eofauna guides are similar, but the way their entries are organized is frustrating, when compared with the more straightforward organization in Paul's guides.

It's why I'm excited for these Bryce Jones books, as they seem to be in the same vein. Though I don't know anything about Bryce Jones, and there's frustratingly little info online about them.

Oh, I know, and I agree. That's why I just ordered two of his books. And I have the 1st edition of the dinosaur book too. I agree about the Eofauna books too.
