Prolific compiler Redfern (Secret History) tracks various legends, supposed sightings, and other fun facts and mentions of hominid-like primates, be they called Bigfoot, Sasquatch, or Yeti, throughout history. The result is an engaging, eclectic collection, consisting of nearly 200 alphabetically arranged entries covering, for example, Conan Doyle, "Flying Saucers and Bigfoot," the famous 1960s Bigfoot film footage, and more, with accompanying black-and-white photos and illustrations. An introduction to the material would have been welcome. (Index not seen.) VERDICT A wild, woolly compendium of our man-ape obsessions.--Judy Quinn, formerly with Library Journal

Gr 6-9-This thorough encyclopedia of the Bigfoot legend offers hundreds of alphabetically arranged entries on all things Bigfoot, including specific legends from different locations, sightings stories, movies, theories, and related phenomena. Black-and-white images of storytellers and sites are featured throughout, and the book has a clean layout with sidebars. However, while the entries are well ordered and clear, there is no set structure in terms of naming or topic division. Entries on films, for instance, are named for the given movie, while other sections are named for the location where a sighting was reported. Other entries are items of interest (such as "Dogs and Bigfoot"), but there is no way to categorize these subjects and separate them out. In addition, the point of view of the encyclopedia lacks consistency: some entries are written in an academic style (though with no citations), while others read like personal stories (some even suggesting that Bigfoot is not only real, but also a danger to the general public). VERDICT While not recommended for reports or serious research, this title could be a good springboard for further reading if taken with a grain of salt.-Heather Talty, formerly at Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, New York City
