Fiffer, Steve. Tyrannosaurus Sue: The Extraordinary Saga of the Largest, Most Fought over T Rex Ever Found
New York, New York, U.S.A. W H Freeman & Co 2000 0716740176 / 9780716740179 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Fine
First printing (stated). Tan cloth spine and brown boards. 248 pages. Index. Book is clean, tight, appears unread, some light foxing on text block. In a fine dust jacket, now in archival cover. ~~ The discovery of the almost-complete fossilized skeleton of a female T-Rex in South Dakota in 1990 sparked a legal ownership battle between Peter Larson, the professional dinosaur hunter who unearthed it, the Native American landowner, the Sioux tribe, and the U.S. government, before it was finally put to auction and purchased by The Field Museum in Chicago. "Before it was over, there would be claims and counterclaims; charges of checkbook-polluted science, criminal larceny, and vengeful prosecutions; and devastating prison terms . . . [This book] is a fascinating introduction to the centuries-old history of commercial fossil hunting, a legal thriller, and a provocative look at the academic versus commercial science and the chase for money that fuels both. And, in the case of Peter Larson, through whose eyes most of the story is revealed, a kind of love story."
