Book Review: In Search of Giants: Bigfoot Sasquatch Encounters
By Thomas Steenburg

This book is in my view an excellent overview of the Sasquatch activity in Alberta and British Columbia, Canada. Steenburg writes with the comfortable style that endears many to the way John Green writes; no wonder, since Steenburg and Green are friends and close associates. Steenburg has interviewed many witnesses for this book, and the interviews are well-written and not tedious. All of the witnesses interviewed are absolutely certain about what they have seen, and have no doubt as to what they saw. The majority of the reports in the book come from eastern B.C. and western Alberta, which shows that Steenburg has travelled a great deal to get these stories. Steenburg asks each witness the same questions, but doesn't always get the same answers, which indicates that the witnesses are credible. This book is well-written and very concise, and can be purchased for $16.95 from www.hancockhouse.com. It is highly recommended.
