Trilobite Book coverIt wasn’t three days since I’d listened to the brilliant Palaeocast episode about Isotelus rex that a copy of Riccardo Levi-Setti’s The Trilobite Book; A Visual Journey from The University of Chicago Press serendipitously showed up on my desk.

To write that it is visually stunning is to put it lightly. Never before in one place have I seen so many amazing photographs of the fossilized remains of these fascinating creatures. The challenge now will be to stop staring at the images long enough to read the accompanying text in order to write a review of the book.
