Hi!

Can anyone out there in net-land send me pointers to books on
dinosaurs, that fulfill the following conditions:

	- fairly up-to-date (not older then 1988)
	- as complete as possible (something like a "typology",
	  covering the Trias, Jura and Cretacean period)
	- illustrated (not just a collection of bones, fossiles
	  and descriptive texts, with an intersperses image every
	  100 pages)
	- NO kiddies books! (sadly, most of the illustrated ones
	  are written for children, like "see, Spot the big brown
	  brontosaurus" :-)

Our local library unfortunatly only carries books that never check
on *all* conditions, like nicely illustrated childrens books, very complete
fossile collections and the one really scientific one, is dated from 1975.

Sigh...
