Yeah that would make a great t-shirt!

As for UFO books, I’d say “Messengers of Deception (Vallee);” “Above Top Secret” (Good); “Project Beta” (the Gregster); “Communion;” (Strieber); “The Spirit Molecule;” (Strassman - technically not a UFO book, but very relevant); “The Hynek UFO Report;” (Hynek);

As for crypto: “On the Track of Unknown Animals” (Heuvelmans); “Alien Animals” (Bord & Bord); “Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us” (Green); “Monster Hunter;” Downes; “Creatures of the Outer Edge (Clark Coleman); “Hunting the American Werwolf (Godfrey); “Field Guide to Lake Monsters…” (Coleman & Huyghe).

Crossover books that in some ways cover both areas - “Operation Trojan Horse” (Keel); “Mothman Prophecies” (Keel); “The Owlman and Others” (Downes).

That’s my choice, anyway, as a primer for people new to the subject! I’m sure I’ve omitted some major ones!

Good point. Has Nick ever done a list of what he considers the best books for those interested in the subject(s)? Okay, off to check out the interview.

But Nick, you recommend to the young kids that might be interested in cryptozoology to read read read, and yet you didn’t provide a list of books that, in your opinion, should be the “backbone” of any aspiring ufologist or cryptozoologist.
