Great show! Another hit to the wallet. I ordered both his Mystery Animals and his Sea Serpent books. I always enjoy your reviews and discussions.

I reckon Yeti s should write a book on mountaineers

I like that the book has a list of the most notorious cryptids covered on its pages, instantly makes the reader more curious about the content. Interesting to find out that it was so formative on your own careers in cryptozoology Jonathan and Richard, by the way, not just introducing you to the Owlman and Morgawr but also that many of your books focus on the specific mystery animals of the British Isles omitted from this book.

Jon, could you post a list of the books? I did get your Soviet Sasquatch book and almost read the whole thing that evening. Very well written book. And lends some insight. Because unfortunately Igor has since bastardized the Russian studies and pursuit of the mystery.
