Well, they say one cannot judge a book by it’s cover. Let’s hope that this is case with this volume.
I think that many crypto-books may either sink or swim by the illustrations contained as real photographs of many crypto-encounters are not available or clear enough to get the point across.
With apologies to Thomas Finley, the illustrations presented on and in this book are not believable or very professional, unfortunately. Since the human visual attraction is key-most for engendering interest and thereby sales, I would have hoped that a higher level of artwork would be contained herein. If this were a children’s book about the nice Bigfoot next door, I wouldn’t have any qualms with the paintings but as accurate representations of sightings of cryptids…not really.
