Editorial Review:
For years, scientists and researchers have studied, speculated about, and searched for an enigmatic creature that is legendary in the annals of American folklore. Now, learn the truth about...
BIGFOOT!
In this fascinating and comprehensive look at the fact, fiction, and fable of the North American "Sasquatch," award-winning author Loren Coleman takes readers on a journey into America's biggest mystery -- could an unrecognized "ape" be living in our midst? Drawing on over forty years of investigations, interviews, and fieldwork on these incredible beasts, Coleman explores the modern debates about these powerful, ape-like creatures, why they have remained a mystery for so long, and what we can learn about ourselves from these animals, our nearest cousins!
From reports of Bigfoot's existence found in ancient Native American traditions, to the controversial Patterson-Gimlin film of a Bigfoot in the wild, to today's Internet sites that record the sightings almost as soon as they occur, Coleman uncovers the past, explains the present, and considers the future of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the natural world.

Rating:  - No longer innocent fun...
Let me make it very clear right up front: I do NOT believe that Bigfoot/Sasquatch exists. However, when I was a child I was fascinated by this phenomena, and read several books on the subject.
In picking up this volume, I have returned to the topic after several years of not giving it much consideration. So initially, the book served as a sound and fairly measured refresher about the history of Bigfoot sightings and the search for more clues.
All this changed, however, ... Read More
Rating:  - Review from David
Although a comprehensive and well-referenced history of sightings, testimonials, evidences, and analysis is presented, I am left with more of an inclination towards disbelief and that Bigfoot advocates are simply motivated by the intrigue of the search, the mystery and fun of the puzzle-like assembly of facts and conspiratorial theories. Their brainy tendencies make them adept at explaining away the dearth of evidence.
Rating:  - Factual and Funny
I read my first "bigfoot book" in the third grade and this one tops every one I've read since that eye opening day. Coleman not only recaps important historical events and encounters, but offers fresh perspective on the origins of the name "bigfoot", the effect the media has had in spreading the legend, and humorous stories on the sexual traits and behaviour of sasquatch. A "must read" for those interested in the subject, as obviously lots of research and fieldwork went into this book. My only minor ... Read More
Rating: - Bigfoot!
I've read a lot of Bigfoot and Sasquatch books, but Loren Coleman did such an excellent job on this book, it has to stand of as the "Bible" of the subject. This book is well written and covers areas that I never thought about before. He presents each story in such a way that it lets the reader make up their own mind.
Thank you Mr. Coleman work a great read.

Rating: - You should own this book.
As with most books by Loren Coleman, this book is very much worth having. Once I got to reading it I had a hard time putting it down. It not only discusses bigfoot but North American Apes. I'm not a big book reviewer who can give an in depth review of what I have read but I can say that if you are into bigfoot and cryptozoology that you will not be disappointed.
