Staying Alive
Posted by: Loren Coleman on April 15th, 2006
Want to pick up a $4 or $5 copy of John Napier’s Bigfoot: The Yeti And Sasquatch in Myth and Reality ? Looking for that rare first edition of Curious Encounters (1985) for fifteen bucks? Trying to rundown one of Heuvelmans’ scarce books? I’d like to recommend someone that’s trying to keep those old cryptozoology books flowing into the hands of people, like you, who need them. You might want to check out Arcturus Books Inc.
Bob Girard has been selling used books for years, and now does it from Port St. Lucie, Florida. But like most old booksellers, he’s holding on by a thread.
Sometimes, if you want to keep the good books in this world, you have to help and support those booksellers that aren’t afraid to keep them in stock. I, therefore, am putting out the call to keep Arcturus Books alive. Buy a book from him immediately and certainly the next time you think about adding a volume, new or old, to your cryptozoology library.
Hey, if it wasn’t for Arcturus, where else could you find the first book from Michael Newton, recently of Encyclopedia of Cryptozoology fame? Arcturus has Newton’s 1979 book, Monsters, Mysteries and Man (listed under Michael “Newman”) for $5.00.

For an update on Mysterious America shipments, coming this week, please see here.
I haven’t checked out their offerings for awhile, but based on what Loren said, I went there and found two excellent books at quite good prices. Thanks for the tip!

I’ll definitely check it out. I need to pick up a couple of gifts. Thank you!
