The DEFINITIVE volume on Hairy Bipeds!!!!!!

This book, out of print for 25 years, is now back in print (I received an early review copy of it this past week) and is basically unchanged, but it is still great to see the book back in print. The scholarly look at Sasquatch by author Green is sober and well-researched. Green, once a skeptic who even put hoax stories on Sasquatch in his newspaper, became convinced in 1958 when he saw tracks in the Bluff Creek area and began to receive reports. Now, over 4,000 reports later, he is thoroughly convinced. The earlier book review I gave for this 492-page tome still stands. This is a classic for a whole new generation of researchers and is excellent source material for anyone interested in the subject. A worthy edition to any cryptozoological library.

The definitive work on Sasquatch...

This book is THE classic for Bigfoot enthusiasts. It is comprehensive, detailed, and hugely entertaining with its scores of fascinating case studies. Mr. Green's writing is calm and collected, yet conjures up great atmosphere. This is the book you'll keep coming back to.

The Definitive Book on the Subject!

This book, clocking in at a whopping 492 pages, is the starting point for many researchers' interest in the subject of Sasquatch. Canadian Sasquatch researcher John Green's writing style is comfortable and assuring, and gives the reader true insights into his longtime research efforts, as well as a virtual catalogue of sightings from all over the United States and indeed in some cases, the world. He examines the old Indian legends, as well as the implications that entails in the modern world. This great book is out of print for the moment, and a bit expensive to purchase, but publishing company Hancock House is republishing the book next Spring at a more affordable price, so if you have a chance to purchase this book, do so.

Excellent book that badly needs REPRINTED!

Why this entertaining and informative book is so hard to get is beyond me. Hancock House needs to republish this book. This is a massive book that needs to be in every Bigfoot scholar's library. An updated edition would be great. Think about it Mr. Green and Hancock House. A ton of these would sell. This makes a great fireside book too.

Longtime Investigator Chronicals Sightings of Sasquatch

Newspaperman John Green of Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia began investigating the reports of bipdal hair covered man like animals in the late 1950's. Over the years he has amassed one of the largest databases of sightings. Mr Green published "On Track of the Sasquatch" in 1968 and subsquently "Year of the Sasquatch" and the "Sasquatch File". Mr Green has personally investigated many of the sightings he reports in the Pacific Northwest. This volume is considered by many to be the definitive work on this subject by a lay person. In the mid 1970's Mr Green began putting his reports in format for computer analysis The results of this are discussed at length in this book. Mr. Green's work is significant for the objectivity and also the fact that he has worked with leading Scientists such as Dr Grover Krantz of the University of Washington. Unlike many books on this subject, there are no digressions on paranormal, Mr Green feels the evidence clearly indicates this is a upright ape, a perfectly normal animal. He does cover sightings in other parts of the United States that he has recieved reports of, some of which have been investigated by other researchers. Mr Green reviews the evidence and concludes that it is likely that this creature is nocturnal and is most likely to be seen by humans crossing the road at night in remote forested areas. This book is a MUST for anyone interested in this subject, and it probably the most level headed book on the subject not written by a Scientist that is available. Unlike other "Bigfoot Hunters", Mr Green has worked with Scientists, freely sharing his database and information in order to solve this mystery. My interest in this subject began in the 1970's as a teenager mostly in response to Mr Green's books and also lead to my interest in anthropology and natural history. Since this book is out of print, it is hard, but not impossible to find and definitely worth the effort.
