"Should become the reference work of choice for paleontologists in the field, students of natural history and lay people whose interest in dinosaurs runs deeper than a nodding acquaintance with the museum tyrannosaur. . . . The book succeeds admirably."—John Noble Wilford, New York Times Book Review
"An historically unparalleled compendium of information and well thought out interpretations of the dinosaur fossil record. . . . Will set the standard and stimulate new work for years to come."—Kevin Padian, Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology
"The first freewheeling collaboration between specialists in the Eastern Bloc, China and the West. . . . No other work has every single scaled, plated, horned and fanged player lined up for inspection."—Milo Miles, LA Weekly
