Oh yeah.  I second this, as Benton's book (despite some of the 
clade/family/group, etc. listings) is very good.  I also recommend Richard 
Cowen's History of Life, and, of course, the Complete Dinosaur.  In terms of 
non-textbooks, the Horned Dinosaurs is an interesting book, as are Horner's and 
Bakker's.  Also, I'm excited about Michael Novacek's new book...it received a 
nice review by Steve Fiffer (yes, the same author of the Sue book!) in 
yesterday's Chicago Tribune.
