THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN OF THE HIMALAYAS is my personal favorite of all the Sasquatch/Yeti films.

i especially love the screenplay, which is very taut and was written by Nigel Kneale, who also scripted the cult favorite Prof. Quatermass series (FIVE MILLION YEARS TO EARTH, et al).

only wished the Alamo Drafthouse here in Austin would have you next, Loren!

Great. I shall probably be getting this new re-print at some stage. As for the movie, I love it. You can’t beat those old 1950s and 1960s Hammer productions.

Living now in Santa Fe, New Mexico (after living 20 years in New York City), I will sadly not be able to make the trip.

But thanks, Loren, for helping to oversee this reprint. Long ago I lent my first edition copy to someone, and it has never returned. Now I’ll be able to replace it! (And it was the contents, not the fact that it was a first edition, that I lamented losing).

I love that movie as well, which I think an intelligent and very wise film indeed. No sensationalism or cheap scares. Instead, a highly engrossing depiction of how the ABSM phenomenon (and perhaps by extension, other, similar crypto-phenomena [bigfoot, for example]) psychologically affects the human imagination.

Always nice to see a classic like this volume still in print.

That’s very cool, Loren!
