Edges of jacket curled. A history of the long search for a Loch Ness monster, debunking many of the myths surrounding this cryptozoological saga and leaving a charitable chink of light at the end of the tunnel with references to coelocanths and giant squid. Sadly this was published before Peter Scott's notorious 'Nature' spoof was accepted by an editor who should have known better. 216 pp., illustrated with numerous monochrome photographs (and photomontages?).
