@nyrath Hey Winchell, on the subject of books from one's youth did you ever run across "The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs" by Anthony Ravielli. https://archive.org/details/risefallofdinosa0000unse
It is a perfect illustration of the pre-Dinosaur Renaissance paradigm of dinosaurs, complete with bowed reptilian legs, swamp dwelling sauropods, upright theropods, and mammals eating all their eggs as the cause of extinction.
Utterly out of date of course but a fun look at the past of the past.
Related to historical dino history and also to gaming - I stumbled upon an acquaintance author's demonstration of his "Bone Wars" card game, that allows one to re-enact the feuds of the predatory Victorian palaeontologists, including misnaming misaligned bones, and promptly bought a copy.
