hey robert that new book cover looks wonderful, i hope someday i can get a copy of the new book in near future, hey kathy your new book looks very inpressive judgeing the way the cover looks like indeed. keep in touch ok. thanks bill. the book cover realy stands out.

I've read about two-thirds of a pre-printing pdf Kathy sent me - it is very enjoyable, and well-worth reading.

Of course, it would be really nice to read it in the form of a real book, but I guess I have to wait for Hancock House to get their act together first.

Yeah, I read it. It's a great book! There are 154 stories from 57 Native Tribes from all over North America. With the stories are historic pictures of the tribal members themselves (or artifacts, etc.). The cover is high gloss and the pages are semi-gloss. The pictures in particular are even more stunning when viewed in the direct sunlight!

Personally, I highly recommend it!

(LOL!)

Edit: Still Paul?? Crimney...

Hi

I am going to need more info here, Is the author a relatively known person in the BF field ? And if it was an overcast day would the pictures still look good ?


Peace
Tim

uh Robert, I don't think the author would tell you if the book sucked lemons...

Of course it's good, that Kathy Moskowitz-Strain chick wrote it. (also known as Hairy Man)

Oh, well...the book is great but the author! Whoa could I tell you some stories!

All I'm saying is...guard your chocolate! This one time in Mexico...well, um, the rating of this board is PG13 right??? I can't say anything more....

Where can I find it? I've got some catching up to do

hey kathy lol great above reply but i hope your new book about sasquatch sells very well, i hope to get a copy of it real soon. thanks bill

Yeah, I hear she and her hubby do some funky things with sock puppets....

You can get it at Hancock House Publishing. At some point it will be in Borders and the usual other places...

I know who Hairy Man is Teresa, I was just kidding around. I plan on buying it along with the other new one (that Rick Noll read in his tub) as soon as I get around to getting online and ordering it.

I'm a bit of a procrastinator when it comes to spending my money these days.

Rick Noll read a book in his tub?? Which book would that be? LOL

FYI...Hancock House (and several others) have informed me that the book is shipping out to customers and stores! YEAH!

I will be in at the Texas Conference with the book as well...

Just ordered this right now and I can't wait! Hope it gets here soon. I also ordered that book that Richard was reading in the tub. I would probably order any book I see Richard reading in the tub.

My copy arrived yesterday

I have to either get new glasses or slow down on my scanning titles of threads.

I read this one as "Giant's CANNABIS and Monsters".... and thought someone must have got hold of some really bad stuff.

Sounds like an interesting read, and I'm just about done with LMS so it's going on my get soon list.

Ummmm I mean the REAL TITLE not the one I thought it was sounds like a good read.

It's on my list of must have books, matter o' fact, it's the only book on my list right now.

I had a chance to scan through my copy this morning - Kathy is right, it looks beautiful. Its a pity it isn't a hardback, but otherwise is a great book to read (I had already read a proof), but the photos look fantastic in print.

Well done Kathy, and well done to Hancock House for its excellent production values.

I plan on buying an autographed copy directly from the author at the TBRC conference in Jefferson, TX, on October 18th.

I am contractually obligated to plug the conference at every possible occasion. How'm I doing, Craig?!

Thats interesting, I didn't know there would be autographed copies available at the TBRC conference in Jefferson, TX, on October 18th.

I placed a order 9/5, any idea when these books will be shipping out? Did you receive my payment too? It looks great btw!

Hey XionComrade - your order and payment would have went to Hancock House and they assure me that they are shipping them out as fast as they can. I hope you like it!

Now there's a reason to drive down to the conference this year if ever I saw one. Save me one Kathy!

Will do!

http://www.uniondemocrat.com/news/story.cfm?story_no=27677 hey everyone here a new article about our friend & researcher kathy strain & her new book giants cannibals & monsters. thanks bill green

Hi

Thats a positive article Way to go Kathy


Peace
Tim

hey redrat i agree.

I got mine two days ago. Beautiful book! Now I have to read it!

It's too bad the picture of me wasn't included cause it was a rare good one!! Of course, the article isn't 100% correct in all aspects of what I said..but overall, it's pretty good.

I hope you like it Robert! Let me know what you think!

It's nice to see a positive arcticle on this subject once in a while! Good job Kathy! I am patiently waiting for my copy, I was really hoping it would be in today, but no luck! Now I know I definitely won't get it until Monday at the earliest and I can't wait!

YAY!! I got my copy today and all I can say is WOW!! It looks great Kathy, like it should be a textbook in the classroom. Well excuse me because I have some reading to do right now. I will let you all know how good it is once I am done reading it but I'm sure its great since it was written by our very own Hairy Man!

Kathy I hate to point this out but I found it quite funny. In your acknowledgements you thank Brain Brown and I couldn't help but laugh. Well he is a brain that is for sure! I know its the publishers and proof readers fault and not yours though.

Awesome. Can't wait, but it has to go on my Christmas list!

Nope, my own error....I had the ultimate approval so if I didn't catch something, it's my fault. Sorry Brian (who really is a dear friend....)

Just pretend like you meant it as a compliment or like its a new little nickname for him. He'll never know the difference! Actually I read the acknowledgements once and never noticed it, the second time I did though. But just barely, its one of those words that you can look at that is spelled wrong but still looks right. Don't sweat it Kathy, it happens to all of us.

Here is my review: EXCELLENT overview of Native American Legends!!!'

This book, which only took me about 3 1/2 days to finish, is chock-full of Native American Legends of the Sasquatch from all over the United States and even a bit into Canada, and Strain writes the book so well that it is a breeze to get through. She has obviously painstakingly searched different databases and historical records and found all kinds of really interesting legends. The result is many tribes having essentially the same legends (with some variations in each), with characteristics such as giants with baskets on their backs collecting wayward Indian children; usage of fire from all the giants; taking Native women as their brides; cannibalism and other traits which match up quite well with each other. I would give this book not 3 or 4 or even 5 stars, but 10!!!!!! I highly recommend this one, which is available at Amazon and also at http://www.hancockhouse.com

Yes, I agree with bf2004.

For anyone who is interested in Native American culture especially, this is the best book I have seen on the subject of how BF legends are intertwined with the mythology.

And, the photographs and text is beautifully done.

All I can say Kathy is WOWZERS!!! Job well done!!! This book is absolutely fantastic and just reaffirms my beliefs that the Native Americans had knowledge of this animal for centuries, if not millenia. The pictures in the book are absolutely breathtaking and the stories are great and also help to explain some of the attributes given to Sasquatch. All I can say is BUY THIS BOOK!! Once again, great job Kathy, it is much appreciated!

I just wanted to add one more thing here that really stuck out to me as I was rereading it yet again, I find it absolutely amazing that throughout all of the tribes in North America that the subject matter is almost universal througout all of them. Not only that, but the attributes, characteristics, and behaviour that is prevalent in reports, sightings, and encounters in our time and age were also noticed centuries ago by all the different tribes. That says something, don't you think? Once again, great book Kathy. It sits in it's own special place on my book shelf.

Thank you much AlbertaSasquatch...I'm very glad that you liked it so much!!

Just received my copy in the mail today, and it's signed by the author!

At first crack it looks very well put together and I'm sure it will be very informative. I can't wait to get started.

Thank you very, very much, kat.

You are very welcome Clay. I hope you enjoy it!

(Shameless plug) I gave a particularly good interview tonight on Nite Callers...for those who might like to listen...

Did you mention on the show that you stole all your ideas from Henry Franzoni?

Well no...as I don't have any indication that Henry feels that way!

I do need to make a correction though from my interview. A question was asked about stories of giant bones being found in archaeological sites and I mentioned having seen the ones often referred to from Lovelock Cave. I was wrong - the "famous" ones are at the Phoebe Hearst and not the ones I saw...but are still human.
