James Gurney’s Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time invites readers into a lush fantasy realm where dinosaurs and humans coexist in harmony. First published in 1992, this lavishly illustrated picture book has enchanted both young adults and nostalgic collectors for decades.
This first-edition hardcover arrives with its original dust jacket and all 160 pages of Gurney’s luminous, museum-quality paintings. An inscription appears on the front free endpaper, though a previous owner has lightly scribbled over it; the jacket and boards remain bright, with only two dog-eared pages hinting at gentle past reading.
Ideal for lovers of dinosaur art, bedtime story collectors, or anyone seeking a cornerstone fantasy volume, the oversized 250 mm x 265 mm format showcases every detail of the artist’s meticulous world-building. Vintage 1990s charm and tight binding make this copy a shelf-worthy treasure despite the noted quirks.
