The plot section is huge, infobox to come, sections for publishing notes, critical reception, and background to the novel would be good. Julia Rossi (talk) 13:52, 3 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Now has infobox. Chipping away at that plot (though it is a detailed story). Wondering if the title came from Longfellow's "A Psalm of Life" poem

"Lives of great men all remind us / We can make our lives sublime, / And, departing, leave behind us / Footprints on the sands of time"—which some think were inspired by the discovery of fossilized dinosaur footprints in sandstone. (According to User:JackofOz I think)

Needs a first edition cover (or any cover) among other things. Julia Rossi (talk) 07:05, 4 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
