A Field Guide to Bigfoot

[mitch1351]

The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates by Loren Coleman and Patrick Huyghe.

I have read a bit about Bigfoot, Sasquatch and the Yeti but almost nothing about the other individuals mentioned in this book so I found it informative. Its pretty basic stuff with an illustration and a page of text for each specimen. I was surprised by the number of different creatures identified, especially just within North America.

I enjoyed it and in my opinion its a good book for the novice.

Thank you for the recommendation, Mitch!

The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates

Covers Every Inhabited Continent, July 23, 2006
By R. McRae "Timjer" (Saugus, California USA)
Bigfoot, Yeti, Yowie, Orang Pendek, and Agogwe. All the most recognizable names in the world of mystery Cryptozoological primates are here. But the not so recognizable names really sale this book. Names like the Jimbra, Ngoloko, Tjangara, and the Tano Giant. And then there are those you may be a little more familiar with, like the Alma and the Didi. How about the Chinese Wildman, or the Yeren? Whether familiar or not, its probably mentioned in this guide. But that is also one of the shortcomings of the Field Guide; so many subjects, too few eyewitness accounts. My one reason for not giving it a 5 star rating. Hopefully more page additions are forthcoming in future revisions.


Coleman hits another homerun!!! , April 16, 2006

This book, originally released in 1999, was controversial for the sheer number of different species covered in it. Perhaps the most controversial classification was the oceanic primates, or "mer-beings." This book is not exactly a "straight" reprint of the original volume from 1999; there is a new preface in the beginning and a new index in the back. The rest of it is the original 1999 material, but a good deal of it is relevant to the present-day reports, and the book can be very useful for those searching for these animals. The illustrations are very well-done from other's descriptions (and in some cases, photos and film) and show a diversity of sizes and shapes and colors in these mysterious primates. I do highly recommend this volume (both versions) to give the reader an idea of the different hairy bipeds around the globe.

This is the best book for reading about the myths or facts of the mysterious sightings of humaniod apes from around world. In addition to the wonderful facts there is also many great pictures to identify any of these wonderful elusive beasts.


Fantastic..!, August 12, 2007
By Brian Svendborg "Djinn" (Copenhagen, Denmark)
This book is THE book to buy, if one just resently got interested in hominology. The book describes multible different Bigfoot like creatured out there, all combined with sighting-stories ... big mistake including the merbeings though, wtf? What does mermaids have to do with abominable snowmen?!!
Even though the book is brilliant, it is way to short. Almost 50% of the book are pictures, all 50 some mentioned animals are shown in drawings, and most of the written ones leave huge blank spaces.
But all in all, a good book, I love it enyway!
