Ones that I do remember were Smokey Crabtree's book(which was awesome BTW), Meldrum's book Legend Meets Science, John Green's softcover book series, Roger Patterson's 2 books, Greg Long's book- Making of Bigfoot, and there's more but I can't remember the titles (I own a lot of Bigfoot related books and have only read a portion of them).

have read these and I honestly don't see how anyone can come away believing they are not real.

 

 

A lot of books are geared towards belief of some kind, that's their intention. If you read Greg Long's book without "peeling the onion" then you'll probably come away with agreeing with him to an extent.

I have read more than a few. Patterson, Krantz, Greene ,LMS, Long  and a few more not worth mentioning.

I have to admit the worst of the lot was Long's  fictional  account .

Not a skeptic of bigfoot per se but I am skeptical of many things do do with bigfoot. I own about 25 to 30 books on the subject, going back to the 1970s.

TD-40,

I don't recall all of the cryptid/paranormal books I've read and I do not only read that genre but here are some of the books currently on my kindle or that I have as physical books.

Cryptozoologicon V.1

Abominable Snowman: Legend Come to Life

Sasquatch - The Apes Among Us

Bigfoot/Sasquatch Evidence

Bigfoot Exposed

Searching For Sasquatch

Abominable Science: Origins of ...

On the Track of the Sasquatch: Book Two

 

Many of the non cryptid books I read relate to topics of which we cannot speak, PM me if you would like to know some of those titles.

 

The point of this thread seems to be to "show-up" skeptics in some fashion, as if books were the only route to information. Sort of laughable premise but then again, and let's be honest, I'm talking to grown-ups who believe in a mythical monster of the woods. I try to be as respectful as I can but this thread is designed to be a smack in the face so, I'm good with smacking back.

Don't. They're the cover images I could find online of books I've read and/or own. The Green books at the top were very hard to find, with those specific covers which I first read when I was eight, which got me into Bigfoot in the first place.

Nice collection. I liked your crow recipe as well. Simple and that always seems a bit better to me. Too many added flavors and the dish just seems to lose any definition to me.

My list is posted somewhere on the forum.  Kit you've done a masterful amount of reading.  I am impressed.

^ That's why I say Kit might be a scofftic, but he's earned his attitude.

 

I've read several books about BF, that's how I originally got interested in the subject, but it's been so long ago I don't remember which ones. I mean really long ago, like 1970's-ish long ago. And you know what they say, if you can remember the '70's, you weren't there.

I was in Springbrook Australia in the mid 1990's.

I stopped at a place that had heaps of yowie (Australian bigfoot) literature. I picked up some info they had and left after consuming my Yowie Burger.

My wife and I were staying in a cabin on a mountain above a large valley.

While we were laying in bed reading we heard an incredible sound come thru the window. It repeated several times them stopped. We were both very freaked out.

Later at home some weeks later I pulled out the brochure and started Web surfing... sooner or later I came to the BFRO site and some alleged bigfoot howls.

As one from Ohio played over my speakers my wife came into the room face flushed and asked me where I found the sound we had heard.

After that I spent following years reading every resource I could find about bigfoot.

I don't know if this is the right thread to post that on but that's my story.

That is not including books which only deal with Bigfoot partially and that is nothing. Steven Streufert could put me to bed, owning Bigfoot Books and all. Most of those I read were when I was squarely a proponent, but far and away I recommend Joshua Blu Buhs' Bigfoot: The Life and Times of a Legend as the absolute best. For believers as when I was a believer, I would still recommend Krantz very much over Meldrum. Big Footprints was my well thumped Bible back then.
