Announcement...

Hancock House is pleased to announce its first e-book: THE BIGFOOT
FILM JOURNAL, by Christopher L. Murphy. The work is available as a
download from our website. Upon ordering the book, you will be
provided with instructions. You will require the REGULAR ADOBE 7 OR 8
READER (which is available free of charge).
E-books offer significant advantages: full color images, search
capabilities, a "read out-loud" facility with Adobe 8 (computer voice
actually reads the book) and above all, the ability to "link" other
information. In his e-book book, Chris fully utilizes the link
facility. If for, example, you are interested in the legalities of
the bigfoot film (Patterson/Gimlin film), you can click on a link and
review numerous legal documents.

What's more, Chris has provided an ERRATA/UPDATE link, so one can be
totally "up-to-date" on the subject. In other words, a link is
provided so that one can see necessary revisions and new information
on the subject.

AS TO THE BOOK ITSELF, it is a detailed account and analysis of the
Patterson/Gimlin film circumstances and aftermath. The work has been
"in the mill" for over ten years. Chris has worked with many
researchers and others to get what he believes to be a accurate
account of what occurred before, during, and after the filming. Among
his primary resources were Mrs. Patterson, Bob Gimlin, John Green, and
of course the late Rene Dahinden. Roger Knights was the prime editor,
and the noted researchers Thomas Steenburg and Daniel Perez were
associated editors and consultants. THERE ARE MANY SURPRISES is this
book - both arguments for and against the nature of the filmed
creature are discussed in relation to the circumstances. The work is
fully illustrated with photographs, maps and diagrams - providing a
virtual "behind the scene" adventure into what has become one of the
most controversial and famous films ever taken.

IN ADDITION TO THE REGULAR ADOBE 7 OR 8 READER VERSION as presented
above. This book is also available in a special pdf format designed
for use with the new PRS-505 SONY PORTABLE READER. For those of you
who are not familiar with this new device, please click on the
