The prop cover for Alan Grant’s book, “Dinosaur Detectives” (seen briefly in the Jurassic Park film, held by Tim) drew inspiration from the cover designs of real-life books “The Dinosaur Scrapbook” by Don Glut, and “Digging Dinosaurs” by John Horner.

“Scrapbook” was a look at the role of dinosaurs in movies and other pop culture – which Jurassic Park would go on to revolutionize. Horner was the paleontology consultant on Jurassic Park and the partial basis for the character of Grant.
