For those of you that might not know, the nickname of the state of Montana is Big Sky Country. Essentially this book is about the dinosaur paleontology in Montana.
 
This copy was actually signed by the author, Jack Horner himself.

For those of you that may not know who Jack Horner is, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia;

"John Robert "Jack" Horner is an American paleontologist most famous for discovering and naming Maiasaura, providing the first clear evidence that some dinosaurs cared for their young. In addition to his paleontological discoveries, Horner served as the technical advisor for all the Jurassic Park films, had a cameo appearance in Jurassic World, and served as a partial inspiration for one of the lead characters of the franchise, Dr. Alan Grant. Horner studied at the University of Montana, although he did not complete his degree due to undiagnosed dyslexia, and was awarded a Doctorate in Science honoris causa. He retired from Montana State University on July 1, 2016 although he claims to have been pushed out of the Museum of the Rockies after having married an undergraduate student and now teaches as a Presidential Fellow at Chapman University in Orange, Orange County, California."
