Anyone else going to get this book? I definately am (by the way, it features a picture of a melanistic Deinofelis) .

I have it and already read it. Depending on your familiarity with the subject matter, it may be a little too broad, but overall it is a great book detailing all of the sabre-toothed synapsids (with a major focus on the cats of course). But he goes through all of the known genera of all of the Cenozoic sabretooths, with sime very cool reconstructions and skeletal/skull drawings.

As always, the art is superb.

I also have it and have read it.  If you have the least interest in the topic, get the book.  It's more than passingly similar to his Big Cats tome, but the illustrations are excellent (and actually support the text, even if they tend to wander 3 pages off) and there is new/more information.  There is discussion (although I'd like more) around the synapsids, thylacosmilids, and convergent evolution; since the book is Sabretooth and not Sabretooth Cats - although that is the bulk of it.  I found the most interesting part to be the speculation as to HOW and WHY the sabretooth morphology could possibly be used. While I won't spoil the argument, it has more to do with what is behind the ears than what is in front.  If you've ever seen a gator or shark taking their pound(s) of flesh, you'll get it.  Anton does a more than creditable job of integrating the paleoecology (e.g. forest vs savannah, caves, pack or single, lion or tiger or cheetah analogies) into what we can discern from existing cat behaviour and fossil inference.  He also makes (graphically) the point that our ancestors were most likely prey - I say this after just opening a can of food for my cats, btw.
To the best of my knowledge (and I welcome any additions/corrections) this and Naples' book cover the extant popular literature - I say get it.  Then head over to Alchemy Works and get the resin
