Summary: There's better
Comment: Keeping in mind this book was written in 1974 at the height of bigfootmania, this should have been better. This book is very weak in material and the author goes off on tangents with fish and birds. He tries to use fossil records of other large animals from the far distant past in his writings and it it just uninteresting. He covers three areas in this subject matter: Mono Grande of South America, Yeti of Himalayas, and Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest.

Coverage of mono grande is based off of Turillo's (sp?) search for a giant creature. He also covers de Loys giant monkey of which there is considerable doubt of authenticity. For the yeti, he sticks to footprints in the snow which suffers from thawing and refreezing. For the bigfoot, he covers the popular stories of Teddy Roosevelt's Baumann, Ape Canyon, Albert Ostman, and Patterson/Gimlin.

Overall, it is a nice effort but falls far short of anything authoritative on the subject matter. The writing style isn't even that interesting. If you collect books on the subject of bigfoot, it's enough to put on the shelf but easily forgetable.
