"Vertebrate Paleontological Techniques Volume One" edited by Patrick Leiggi, Peter J. May, John R. Horner.  Hardcover.  Like new inside with slight shelf wear on cover only.

This volume fulfills a long-standing need of vertebrate paleontologists--whether amateurs attending their first excavation, or preparators and curators--for a book that describes and explains modern paleontological techniques and practice. The authors of this volume are all exceptional technicians in their fields and the book covers everything from field specimen collecting, through conservation methods, chemical preparation, molding, casting and painting, and mounting of vertebrate skeletons, to the final chapter devoted to the use of CT scans and X-ray methods. This book aims to describe modern preparatory techniques and skills that have usually only been passed down by example and demonstration, and that until now, have rarely been standardized or put down in print.

Everything that graduate and professional paleontologists will ever need to know about modern techniques of specimen collecting, preparation and conservation.  A must-have book for all vertebrate paleontologists who want to pursue fieldwork and lab work.  Excellent resource, reference, and teaching book.  Unfortunately there is no volume two as previously planned
