Added this to my reference shelf. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers.
First purchase from this shop. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Recommended with reservations.
This edition finally does the material justice. Every rereading turns up something I missed.
Long-time student of the esoteric here. You can tell why this work has endured. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. One of my better finds this year.
This text serves as a robust reference for serious researchers and dedicated hobbyists of cryptozoology who demand depth and archival rigor. However, it does not suit casual readers seeking quick entertainment or those looking for sensationalist ghost stories without substantive backing. The focus on decades of fieldwork may feel dense to those preferring narrative-driven folklore over documented sightings. While invaluable for its specific niche, it lacks the broad accessibility required for general interest readers who prefer lighter, more fantastical explorations of the unknown rather than methodical surveying.
