      From the Press Box
    • This revised and updated version of the Hunt for Bigfoot is a brand new look at one of the great mysteries of our time- the Bigfoot or Sasquatch phenomenon. It dives into the incredible questions the phenomenon raises relating to the possibility of a group of giant, unclassified primates, living and secretly surviving in the vast forests of the Pacific Northwest. The author, Peter Byrne, is a veteran of the Bigfoot field of research and has written on the topic for nearly fifty years, going back to 1960. Brought in to help for three years of high altitude Himalayan expeditions relating to the Yeti phenomenon, Byrne returned to the United States to design and run the first serious probe into this extraordinary and enigmatic challenge of the Pacific Northwest. This project, now known as The Bigfoot Research Project #1, lasted for two and a half years. Realizing the importance of this work, in 1962, Byrne wrote The Search For Bigfoot (1975), a book which was regarded at the time, and even today, as one of the authoritative works on the topic. This title takes this 1975 classic and brings together updates and revisions into the 21st Century and includes photos and information never before published.
