- This was the very first dinosaur book I remember owning. I made my mom read it to me over and over and over. I was three years old.
It was these books (published in the 50s, 60s and 70s), with their terrible/wonderful illustrations and antiquated science (along with trips to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History) that created my life-long obsession. Feeling nostalgic, I decided to see if I could find any of them online. Good news, everyone!
Please enjoy this archive of vintage dinosaur books, ranging from the 1890s through the 1970s... so many gems!!!
