Guest Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Gentlemen, Please tell me what to purchase and where to purchase great books about BF and BF research. I need names and your recommendations to begin a collection of BF books. I have no BF books at this time. I sincerely trust you guys to tell me what to purchase that an amateur such as myself would be able to enjoy. Last night I purchased this DVD thanks to recommendations from fellow forum members: "Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science" Doug Hajicek; DVD; $26.97 In Stock Sold by: Whitewolf Entertainment Inc. Now I wish to buy some great books about the research and adventures researchers have experienced in the field so please help and advise me. I'm not a scientist so I need to have books that a lay person can understand. I'm really excited about having some BF books and stories to enjoy, and I appreciate any and all of your recommendations. Thanks and Major Hugs for your help in this matter! Edited May 28, 2011 by SweetSusiq
Guest Yeti1974 Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Get a copy of John Green's Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us. Grover Krantz's Big Footprints.
Guest Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 A few of my favorites: Raincoast Sasquatch - J Robert Alley. It is an excellent read, based in Canada and lower Alaska. In Search of Giants - Thomas Steenburg Bigfoot Sasquatch Evidence - Grover Kranz North America's Great Ape - John Bindernagel
Guest Yeti1974 Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 I need to finish Raincoast Sasquatch already so I can have a better idea of its value. The artwork inside is worth the price alone IMHO (I love simple artistic representations of sightings), and there's something about Alley's focus on interviews with witnesses that reminds me of John Green. Plus, it seems like it's pretty up-to-date, and there's something about the idea of sasquatches infesting the coastal northwest that has a very romantic appeal. Dang now I really need to finish it.
Guest Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Plus, it seems like it's pretty up-to-date, It was written in 2003, but it still feels fresh. I believe it was also the first book to really discuss Sasquatch nests. Edited May 29, 2011 by Bogger
Guest Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 I've just ordered some of these books from Amazon. I am looking forward to checking the other recommendations out and will purchase as money allows. BTW, I ordered the BF DVD Legend Meets Science, should I also buy the book that has the same name? Is everything covered in the DVD? I was ordering it and thought that I should get advice and check with you gays and gals first.. I'm really excited to have BF research books to read. Thanks for your help.

Guest rustywilson Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 "The Ghost ROck Cafe" - Bigfoot mystery by Chinle Miller - I really enjoyed it. And I may humbly add that my two books are getting good reviews (Rusty Wilson's Bigfoot Campfire Stories and More Bigfoot Campfire Stories). All are ebooks, available on Amazon.
Guest Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 "The Ghost ROck Cafe" - Bigfoot mystery by Chinle Miller - I really enjoyed it. And I may humbly add that my two books are getting good reviews (Rusty Wilson's Bigfoot Campfire Stories and More Bigfoot Campfire Stories). All are ebooks, available on Amazon. Rusty, I have a Sony e-reader I bought back when I was book reviewing full time, would that reader be usable for this download? Are these Campfire stories based on any true facts, or is it mostly fiction? At this point I wish to garner knowledge about the BF species and the research *currently* being done. Are your books meeting my needs with current BF research results and history?
Guest LAL Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) I think you would like Chris Murphy's books, especially Know the Sasquatch. It's available as an e-book but the e-book and softcover are not quite the same. ETA the related titles list is a veritable Who's Who or What's What of sasquatch literature. http://www.hancockhouse.com/products/CRY_index.htm Edited May 30, 2011 by LAL
Guest Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Would you please recommend the best books out of this list? Wow, What a fabulous sounding list of books! Yikes, Tell me where to start please.. BTW, As soon as I receive your rec's I'm buying the book while I can still afford too! I'm thrilled. I have a DVD, and 2 or 3 books already ordered. I'm starting a new library thanks to all of you and your advice. I so appreciate your assistance and my thanks are genuinely heart felt. Here's the list: Who's Watching You?

Guest Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Get a copy of John Green's Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us. Grover Krantz's Big Footprints. *** Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us (Hardcover) by John Willison Green Is this book worth 50-60 dollars hardback in good condition, less price for sorta acceptable. Please advise. I'd hate to loss the less expensive HB copies
Guest LAL Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Know the Sasquatch is an update of Meet the Sasquatch so you may not need both, especially with the MtS softcover out of stock. $400 for the collector's edition seems a bit much to me. John Green's Sasquatch the Apes Among Us and Grover Krantz' Bigfoot Sasquatch Evidence are classics. I'd get those and Dmitri Bayanov's Americas Bigfoot: Fact, Not Fiction. Come to think of it, I already have. I've ordered Bayanov's In the Footsteps of the Russian Snowman and Sasquatch/Bigfoot and the Mystery of the Wild Man but haven't received them yet. I'll let you know how they are. I'd pass on Paulides and Healy. Steenburg's okay. Sasquatch Odyssey DVD is great. A few people I knew were in it.

Xion Comrade Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Bigfoot Observer's Field manual - Robert W. Morgan The hoopa Project - David Paulides Tribal Bigfoot - David Paulides These 3 are must haves for beginners field work Legend Meets Science - Jeff meldrum Bigfoot Sasquatch Evidence - Grover Krantz Great books that cover the evidence Kathy Strain had a great one if you are interested in Native Accounts and Legends, Giants Cannibals and Monsters or something to that extent But honestly the best information comes from Podcasts.
