Dinosaurs: 24 Cards (Dover Postcards) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Dense vegetation, churning seas, and eerie lighting form the backdrops to dramatic scenes filled with prehistoric beasts. Award-winning nature artist Jan Sovak vividly portrays more than 20 different species of dinosaurs in a variety of poses: stalking and attacking their prey, grazing on a lush landscape, and hovering protectively over their offspring. Included are dynamic portraits of Stegosaurus, Archaeopteryx, Iguanodon, Oviraptor, Spinosaurus, and Corythosaurus, among others. Identifying captions.

The card stock is not as heavy as I would prefer, but the dinosaurs are "old style" drawings that I remember from my childhood, full of glowing-red erupting volcanoes and troubled dark skies in the background, swampy ground and lush ferns in the foreground, and the big, muscular, dramatic dinos doing what they did best - chasing each other, craning long necks to the skies, fighting, wandering. Makes me smile. These were the creatures that stole my young heart. I may have to keep some of these for myself, for nostalgia.
Used these as a banner for my sons dinosaur birthday party and they were perfect. The drawings are amazing quality. You will not be disappointed.
This book has photos of dinosaurs that are so beautiful, you will not want to remove then from the book, (unless you frame them).This is simply amazing photos, that put you back in time with the once mighty dinosaurs, it it a GREAT BOOK!!!
I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this item since the title has the words "24 Cards" and at the same time is was advertised as a "book". I am a big fan of collecting Dinosaur cards and when I received my book I was very happy. Beautiful painted artwork on 5" x 7" high gloss cards, captures the Dinosaurs in their natural habitat as if the artist was actually there, hiding in the foliage waiting to catch a glimpse of them. The 24 cards have perforated edges so they can be removed from the book however I would buy a second book for that purpose. The downside is that there is nothing but the name of the artist and the name of the dinosaur both in the smallest font size possible on the back of the card. There is plenty of room on the back of the card for some Dinosaur fact text or maybe a black & white sketch. I almost gave a 4 star rating due to this fact.If you would like to view and purchase other great Dinosaur card sets including Jurassic Park cards, you can visit my ebay store by typing "gerardscards" into a Google search bar. Once in my store click on the "Dinosaur Card Sets" category link.Happy collecting!
These are nice quality, good for mailing.Update 2016 - I am still using these to mail to our grand daughter who loves dinosaurs.
I gave this item 3 stars because the pictures are so good. I ordered many post cards to be sent to my grandchildren thru out this year. It is a great way to keep in touch. My grandson loves dinosaurs so he will get a big kick out of receiving these.
I love dinosaurs, and these cards are delightful and beautiful. -Rose
Cheap perforated edges, but other than that great.
