Commentary Conducive To Books In the Wake of the Sea-Serpents

This is the definitive guide to all of the known sightings of sea serpents.

Long as it is I would be quite happy if it were twice as long.

The author did try to objectively analyze most of the sightings.

I remember reading this book when I was 20 years old and practically having a peak experience.

I just love these types of books.

I will also just comment. Nobody could read this entire book and not be honestly convinced that there isn't a lot of substance to this whole topic.

For anybody who is interested in marine cryptozoology, this is the definitive book. It is also quite interesting IMHO.

I checked this book out of Atlanta-Fulton Public Library, Ida Williams Branch, a lot in early 1970s; I remember nothing, except what fun these subjects are to learn about. For some reason, I remember it shelved in the Children's section, but I also went to this Dewey Decimal section upstairs in Adult stacks, so I could be remembering wrong. I would check out every book I could find on Sea monsters, Loch Ness, UFO/flying saucers, unseen and occult subjects, until about 1974-5, when I started to

GREAT fun. I can't believe it, but the author's won me over. I can see that in future I shall bore my neighbors at parties on the topic of sea serpents.Highly recommend this book!

From time to time I thought Heuvelmans guilty of the kind of assuming/generalizing that he accused

A classic of cryptozoology, this English-translation of Heuvelman's major reference work on all things relating to Sea-Serpents, jam-packed with accounts of over 200 historical sightings, a speculative biology and taxonomy, and numerous illustrations, is a wonderful read regardless of whatever you think about its subject matter. As a bonus this US edition also includes chapters of his notes on the giant squid, as it was then understood in the 1960s, not reprinted in English anywhere else. Sadly
