Richard Polsky
Boneheads: My Search For T. Rex
(Council Oak Books, April 2011)
From the author of I Bought Andy Warhol comes this fascinating glimpse into the wild world of fossil collection. Polsky’s seriously funny new book leads us into the South Dakota badlands where he discovers a lost tribe — the Boneheads — and becomes one of them. This oddball group of dinosaur hunters is intent on bagging the Holy Grail of the profession — a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton.
Praise for Boneheads
“He writes with earnest and lighthearted exuberance, expressing an obvious love of the hunt, even during the most hopeless moments of his spirited adventure. Both a briskly guided tour of a fading industry and a vibrant example of self-discovery.”
