Legend Meets Science

Science / Cryptozoology / Anthropology
Synopsis
Is there a unknown primate hiding in the forests of North America? Anthropologist Jeff Meldrum — one of the few credentialed scientists to take the question seriously — examines the footprints, sightings, and physical evidence behind the Sasquatch legend with the tools of science. Praised by Jane Goodall, this is a rigorous, open-minded look at one of the world's most enduring mysteries.

Not scheduled this month
Each month, the Guild offers four books across different genres: two fiction and two non-fiction. Read any or all of the picks. Only this month’s selections have a four-week reading schedule.
Next month’s four books will be chosen at random from the other available titles, keeping the two-fiction, two-non-fiction balance. There is no fixed reading order or schedule for the remaining collection.
More books can be added to the website at any time. New additions can be selected before books already available in the library.
