I first read this book nearly 25 years ago in the Summer of 1983 when I checked it out from a library in Canton, Georgia, and I devoured it. It was fascinating to see there were reports from outside the Pacific Northwest (I had had some possible activity myself earlier that year), and this book really was well-written and extremely informative. I won a copy in an eBay auction in December '03, over 20 years after originally reading it, and it cost me over $100.00. In March 2006, Pinewinds Publishing came out with a reprint/update with a slightly different title-Bigfoot Casebook Updated: Sightings and Encounters from 1818 to 2004, with some new updated material and a foreword by Loren Coleman, as well as new photos not seen in the original edition. I own both editions quite proudly. Back before I won the original paperback edition, I checked out through interlibrary loan the hardback edition a couple of times. The original paperback edition is actually harder to come by because it was published only exclusively in Canada and England by a company called Granada (in the U.S., Stackpole Books published it in hardback), so I was fortunate to get a paperback copy of it from a lady in Canada in '03.
