total side point, but i used to have that book in you icon when i was a kid. i remember liking it. i don't remember how accurate it was, but i did like it. i should check about and see if i can find it.

It's a favourite book from my childhood — Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Reptiles by Jane Werner Watson (1960; A Giant Golden Book, Golden Press, NY), illustrated by the legendary Rudolph F. Zallinger who did the famous murals for the Yale Peabody Museum. I still have my copy.
