I liked the book. It had quite a few encounters that I had not read about before. In the second part of the book you will find in brief outline the different sightings by date, but you can browse through it very quickly to find the sightings in your state. I recommend adding this to your library. The only thing that I didn't like about it is that it has included stories that link bigfoot to UFOs. I think they could have been left out.

The Bigfoot Casebook (both the original and the updated version)is a great resource for anyone who studies the Bigfoot phenomena. Whether a field researcher, or of the more Fortean variety, the individual interested in Bigfoot needs this book. In fact, anyone who is interested in Bigfoot who is serious about research needs this book.
This book is also fun for the person who is curious about Bigfoot, even if not a researcher.
Where ever you fall on the scale of interest, the book is an excellent resource.
While the book is a useful research tool, it isn't pedantic or difficult to read. The person who's curious about Bigfoot and enjoys reading about Bigfoot or Sasquatch will find this book a nice and easy to read collection of Bigfoot encounters.
Casebook doesn't delve deeply into any one particular Bigfoot case; that's not the purpose of the book. It's an excellent guide to specific dates, locations, etc. of Bigfoot activity/sightings.
One thing I personally appreciated was the inclusion of so-called "paranormal Bigfoot" events; those encounters involving UFOs, Bigfoot, and other anomalous phenomena.
Bigfoot Casebook gives a history of Bigfoot sightings, and presents a time line and context of sightings that any Bigfoot researcher, as well anyone with a more casual interest, will find usefull and enjoyable.
Casebook is very informative January 15, 2007

This book is great for the person who would like to know more about bigfoot. It is broken down into sections where it describes certain aspects of what bigfoot is like, and why he is next to impossible to see. It almost gives you a feeling of what bigfoots thought process might be. It then gives a chronological description of encounters with bigfoot throughout recorded history. I would defintely recommend this book.

I found the first addition back in the 80's at the public library and the copy was very tattered and worn. I loved it. I searched for years and finally found a used copy about 6yrs ago. I was very excited to see the updated version. Very good read. Lots of info on sightings. I was a bit disappionted that the updated didn't cover more sightings, but still a must for anyone with an intrest in Bigfoot.
 Disappointed in this book but it does have information November 29, 2006

I ordered this book because Amazon recommended it to go with Sasquatch: Legend meets Science by Jeff Meldrum. I almost wish I hadn't gotten the book because it isn't as good as I'd expected. I had in the past read some UFO/Bigfoot stories, you get a lot of that here too.
Just over half the book is a recounting of sightings/ encounters of creatures from all over the U.S. from 1818-2004. This includes not just the classic Bigfoot from Washington/Oregon but all sorts of creature sightings. I found it to be somewhat interesting reading but found that many of the cases were something like "June 1870 John Smith in Ohio saw a "hairy man" in the back forty last night" with a few other details. Most of the cases were very skimpy but some were detailed.
Some interesting pictures are included (including some bad photos of creatures, one dead) but these usually don't have anything to do with the text and are sometimes more interesting.
Section 2 of the book is a chronological listing, not updated past 1980, of cases. This is followed by a short bibliography, a magazine list and some online sources- this last could be the best part of the book.
