Has anyone read: taphonomy: process and bias through time?

It looks interesting

No I have not , I have a couple of books on Taphonomy but not this one at $175 to $200 for the cheapest copy I have ever found on the internet, it is too rich for my blood.

I do have the following taphonomy related books:

Exceptional Fossil Preservation (Very good book)

The Processes of Fossilization (OK book... very dry reading)

I do have the book exceptional fossil preservation and I love it. I wish more books were published like that. An entire book covering 100 plus lagerstatten throughout the world with beautiful color images. I would buy a dozen!

Have you seen "Vertebrate Taphonomy" (Cambridge Manuals in Archaeology) by R. Lee Lyman, and if so, what do you think of it?

[Malcolmt]

Unfortunately never seen it most of my books are on general evolution, mass market dinosaurs or invertebrate paleo.

I am just about to start using it for a 4th year module in my BSc Geology course. It is a collection of essays by various authorities in their respective fields. The Authors are from different countries. Chapter one is available to download as a pdf file.

Hope this is of some help.
