Old Books, Classics, and the Minnesota Iceman

I’m away in New York City, doing Yeti business, of course, including launching the new classics, like Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come to Life (PayPal me at [email protected] $25 marked “For ABSM Book” and I’ll send you, postpaid, an autographed copy, a hardback of this new printing to any USA address, for this one-time discount price). See the end about news of another classic to be reprinted.

Before I get into the crop of new cryptozoology books on the horizon for 2008 in a forthcoming post, how about a trip back to the days when it was oh so difficult to just print the volumes we use to read?

Forget about writing them (which I appreciate is hard enough), take a look at what it took to get a book out the door before computers:

I’ve learned from cryptozoologists in France that Bernard Heuvelmans’ book on the Homo pongoides will be republished this Spring, but with an important new update and edition: the new volume of Heuvelmans and Boris F. Porchnev’s (1974) L’homme de Néanderthal est toujours vivant will contain all the color photographs from the archives that were taken in Minnesota.

Loren Coleman About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct). Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015. Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
