As usual, I am once again inspired by all the art work and sculpts in this jam packed issue (How does he do it folks?) Ok, enough rambling, have yourself a good one, Mike! Liam O'Toole - Mark Kreiss, Warren, NJ future paleontologist? Hi Mike, Meet my grandson Liam (see photo this page). I saw to it that his first gift following his birth was a Stegosaurus. Still a bit shy of five years old he has become quite the expert on dinosaurs. I have helped him acquire a considerable collec- tion of dinosaur models. Soon I will introduce him to Prehistoric Times magazine. Very best wishes, John Kricher, Pocasset, MA Hello Mike, In your last issue you had an excellent article by John Lavas Liopleurodon by Javier A. R. on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" and the centennial edition that I was privileged enough to participate in. John mentioned the website I've been running on the novel and 1925 silent film adaptation, and I thought Prehistoric Times readers might be interested to know that I've been moving that website to a new location and format. To keep things fresh (and reduce all those pop-ups), I'm restarting it as a blog dedicated not only to "The Lost World" but all vintage dinosaur films and litera- ture. The new URL is http://sirarthurconandoyleslostworld.blogspot.com Thanks, Cory Gross Apatosaurus by Matthew Tomaini Greetings from Oz, Mike. I have been enjoying Issue #111, particularly John Lavas' article on his centenary presentation of Conan Doyle's "The Lost World". This is my second favourite novel (yes, second favourite!), which I have read many times over the years; about once a year on average. When I was teaching school years and years ago, I read it Liopleurodon aloud to a Fifth Grade class who loved it; I sometimes wonder by Perfecto K. if any of those kids gained a love of classic literature from that. My daughters, when they were in school, came across a hard- cover copy in a used-book sale and bought it for me for a few cents; it remains one of my most Fred Snyder wrote an article previously in PT about creating treasured books in a fairly large personal library. I was interested in John Lavas' discussion on prehistoric dioramas. He has been busy creating more and this movie and video versions of the story. I don't think it has ever been done right, but the 1925 is a teaser for a soon-to-come 2nd article. silent version probably remains the best (I love Miss Bessie Love). Anyway, I want to purchase John Lavas' centenary edition, but can find no details. I seem to recall seeing an advertisement in PT but cannot find it in my copies. Where can I go to buy the book? Please advise. Regards, Rowan Partridge, Tolga, Queensland, Australia Thanks so much for the nice e-mail Rowan. I am not surprised you enjoyed John’s arti- cle. To buy a copy of his book, I can’t think of a better way to get info than e-mailing him personally, eh? Here is his e-mail.
