n.p.: Independently published, 2021. First Edition. Soft cover. Very Good+. Print-on-demand book apparently but this copy purchased immediate after issue. Pictorial wraps. 603pp. Illustrated. Maps. This is a superb book describing in great and intricate detail the study and survey of the P-G film site by the authors and other individuals in 2010-2012. Over the decades uncertainty had naturally evolved as to the precise location of the filming of the female sasquatch by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin in 1967. A team of men went in and with arduous technical work re-established the location studying everything pertinent from Mother Nature and original visual information as well as early map assessments and photos. Only your bookseller has read this copy (carefully) and there is one ink note he made in the text, referenced also in ink on the ffep. This copy is offered to you from a genuine bookseller. Vg+ copy.
