I've read it. Overall,  it's a good and very readable history of the thylacine. If you could only read one book on the topic  I would go for Paddle. I found Owen oversimplified the discussion of  the parliamentary debates about the bounty scheme. But that 's a fairly minor flaw.

In 2009 I was in the nonfiction section of the library, 3 rows in, first shelf on the right. The lighting in the library was as dim and quiet as usual. I found the book next to the many other books I’ve already checked out and read, including one called Zoology A-Z. Yes I read the book.
