We present this list of books as a starting point for
further reading. Many more exist than we have listed,
and the inclusion of a book on this list does not
represent an endorsement. Those books that are written
for younger readers are listed as “Juvenile,” but there is
information in these books that is useful and interesting
to readers of all ages.
Click on Adult Books to skip to the list of
books for adults.
Books marked DS are written by paleontologists and
are recommended by the Dinosaur Society.
Most of these books are illustrated profusely. They
represent many different styles and interpretations of
the same dinosaurs; among them, you will probably find
something that matches your impression of your favorite
dinosaurs.
