Cryptozoology A to Z, the first encyclopedia of its kind, contains nearly two hundred entries, including cryptids (the name given to these unusual beasts), new animal finds, and the explorers and scientists who search for them. Loren Coleman, one of the world's leading cryptozoologists, teams up with Jerome Clark, editor and author of several encyclopedias, to provide these definitive descriptions and many never-before-published drawings and photographs from eyewitnesses' detailed accounts. Full of insights into the methods of these scientists, exciting tales of discovery, and the history and evolution of this field, Cryptozoology A to Z is the most complete reference ever of the newest zoological science.

This is a "must buy" for people interested in unknown primates. Every mysterious being is sketched from eye-witness reports. The book is scattered with fascinating fresh accounts including, Chinese hunters wounding and capturing a yellow haired "snowman", Chinese officials surrounding a frightened Yeren and throwing a rock at it... and other amazing accounts. I compare this to a Jerome Clark book for research purposes. I recently purchased "Cryptozoology A to Z" , I hope it's as interesting as this Field Guide.
