The Locals: A Contemporary Investigation of the Bigfoot/Sasquatch Phenomenon
by Thom Powell
Autumn says: "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

"...Powell doesn't waste his or the reader's time by rehashing (at least in lengthy detail) the "classic" cases--the Albert Ostman story, Ruby Creek, Mt. St. Helens, the Patterson film, etc. Instead, Powell focuses his energies on relating and interpreting more modern (or previously less publicized) accounts..."

In the Big Thicket, the unknown makes profound intrusions into what we call "reality."

by Don Hunter, Rene Dahinden (Contributor)

"...This is a prime book for someone that is generally interested in the bigfoot phenomenon as Dahinden relates the classics, the less-than-classics, and a few minor other stories. Of the Big 4, Dahinden was probably the most in-the-field, his passion bordered on obsession and he notes in the book that it cost him his marriage..."

by John Hart

Bigfoot Sasquatch: Evidence
by Grover S. Krantz

In a lucid, highly readable style, Dr. Krantz separates the solid evidence from the dubious, corrects many famous misconceptions, and, in the end, really takes the skeptics to task. Perhaps the most commendable aspect of this work is the professional and level-headed treatment Krantz gives his topic... The detailed study of the famous "Patterson/Gimlin" film of bigfoot, along with thorough investigation into the veracity of the dermal ridges found in some footprint casts, show this book to be the work of a serious scientist.

The Tracker's Field Guide: A Comprehensive Handbook for Animal Tracking in the United States

In this book, leading tracking expert Jim Lowery distills his remarkable expertise, gained over decades of intensive research and practical field experience, into a comprehensive field guide to tracking North American mammals. Fully illustrated with hundreds of drawings and high-resolution photographs, The Tracker's Field Guide sets a new standard for books on tracking.
