Man that hardcover book was truly something special when I was kid. I fucking loved dinosaurs, and the stunning art, the exciting Swiss Family Robinson style story, and just the awesome concept of a utopia of humans and dinosaurs was revolutionary for me. Man I need to see if I can find that old book....

This legitimately made my nostalgia well up so much that I went online and found they have a 20th anniversary edition of the original book in hardcover. Well that is now my impulse purchase for this paycheck

I still have mine! It's in great condition too, all the pops ups still work great. I loved it as a kid and could never bring myself to get rid of it

But remember the words of Lee Crabb, who was technically correct when he declared it a "Terrible Place."
