Scoffers and unbelievers need not read further - but if you are open to the vast possibilities in the world, please, come on in.

While the Sasquatch/Yeti/Big Foot is relegated to the confines of disapproving discussions about little green men and things that go bump in the night, Sanderson looks at the possibility of their existence in multiple locations from an extremely scientific perspective. The data contained in the book is dated, as the first edition came out about 50 years ago, but it is eye-opening. He sets out to collect every account he can lay his hands or ears upon. The dates of the accounts collected themselves speak to the larger credibility of the phenomenon, as much of the available material exists before wide dissemination was possible. The accounts also debunk some of the myth surrounding the phenomenon, as the accounts make it clear that the creatures wouldn't exist in some of the climes associated with them. Sanderson also weaves in ecological information to describe the likelihood of the creatures existence, and their likely locations.

For some, the detailed ecological treatises in the middle of the book could become somewhat tiring, but he brings the necessity of the scientific effort home in the end, tying the accounts to the ecology of the locations and to the world-wide ecologies.

Sanderson is also not afraid to speak on the 'debunking' of the phenomenon and all the 'scientific' minds who've waxed poetic in an effort to forestall belief. And his treatment of these 'scientists' will leave you wary of blind acceptance without thought in any context.

If you're wondering, I believe - I don't want to believe - I do believe.

I dare you to read any edition of this book.

Highly Recommended!!!!!

Bookplate "Signed Copy". Title page: Sanderson (who was a friend of SEL) writes:
SIGNED (NOT BOUGHT) FOR STERLING ('THE NOISE') by IKE (Ivan T. Sanderson) IN DIASPORA.
On Acknowledgements page: SEL writes, "14 complete lies!" They start at 'The animal.." and end at "shows." Ivan at his worst, poor chap. One of the reasons why 90% of orthodox (standard0 zoologists distrusted him and his work. SEL
