Some people may not consider SFR a pure cryptozoological book, as much of it includes non-standard scientific ideas, in particular, a refutation of the General Theory of Evolution. Nevertheless, as of early September, 2006, it seems to be the only book ever written primarily about the ropen.
As of late 2006, the only sources for retail purchases were online. |
