I've read everything I can lay hands on including borrowing some stuff long out of print. I'd suggest 4 books Abominable Snowmen - Legend Comes to Life by Ivan Sanderson Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science by Jeff Meldrum - get the book and the DVD. The Locals by Thom Powell Enoch by Autumn Williams These, while not exhaustive, provide a consistent context for what I've been running into out there, consistent with what witnesses are reporting, but lack presentation of the overarching theme that brings them all together. That book remains unwritten so for now, you'll have to put the pieces together for yourself. That may or may not be ok for you, some people like to be spoon fed, others, like me, like a little sweat-equity in our "ah-hah" moments. Many other books regurgitate long lists of accounts, some famous, some obscure, but none of those, individually, give you WHY, they just give you HOW OFTEN. There is another aspect which you have to be somewhat conversant in to understand the complete picture. That's what we refer to as "the woo". There is not a single best book for getting a cross-section. Many people like Jack "Keuwaunee" Lapseritis' writings. I do not. I think he is a fraud and worse. Instead, I recommend Teluke A Bigfoot Account by White Song Eagle and Valley of the Skookum by Sali Shepard-Wolford. Some aspects are addressed by Thom Powell in his book I list above. Frankly, I don't have answers, but the questions raised appear to be real, and, because they repeat apparently independently, are just as worthy of careful scientific study (which does not include scoffing or dismissal) as the topic of bigfoot itself.

WSA: In David's "Missing 411-Eastern," book some of the very disturbing and sad accounts of young children being kidnapped and carried off into inaccessible locations had their clothing removed at some time during their ordeal. I don't think it was ever stated or implied that the removal of the clothing was related to sexual assault. After reading the book, I began to wonder if BF - if BF was the actual abductor - kidnapped the children with the thought of caring for them as we care for young birds and/or small animals we find abandoned in the wild. If so, Bigfoot may have thought the clothing would have been unnecessary and a detriment to their survival since the animals lived the “good life” without them.
