Title: There are better options available
Product review: This book is okay. It does contain a lot of information, but the line drawings are tough to interpret and the selection of mammal bones shown is limited. There are three much better options available. All three use pictures, which are much easier to interpret and cover a much wider variety of mammals. Animal Skulls by Mark Elbroch is limited to skulls, but a very wide range of skulls is covered in incredible detail, a masterpiece, but limited to skulls. Comparative Osteology by Adams & Crabtree shows photos on a black background with somewhat difficult to read scales, and covers the major bones for a select group of mammals. My favorite is Mammalian Osteology by B. Miles Gilbert with photos of bones against a white background, with all major bones for a wide range of mammals shown.
