Long, Greg The Making of Bigfoot: The Inside Story
Amherst, New York, U.S.A. Prometheus Books 2004 1591021391 / 9781591021391 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Near Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near fine hardcover book in near fine dust jacket; book is clean, square, tight and free from any markings showing light bumping to the board edges and very light evidence of having been previously gently read; unclipped dust jacket shows very light shelf and edge wear; book and jacket protected by newly applied Brodart clear cover; 476 pages including index and bibliography; illustrated with black & white photographs; first printing of first edition; printed on acid-free paper. "After nearly forty years of secrecy, the real truth is finally revealed behind the famous Roger Patterson "Bigfoot" film - a hoax that has managed to fool scores of scientists and millions of people around the world. In this riveting and historic book, author Greg Long reveals, for the first time, the identity of the man who actually wore the Bigfoot costume in the famous Patterson film! In addition to reading his exclusive, full confession, Long also presents the testimony of another equally important eyewitness: the man who made and then sold the "Bigfoot" suit to Roger Patterson, and later advised him on how to make the costume look more "authentic." ...Regardless of your opinion about the subject, THE MAKING OF BIGFOOT is a spell-binding account that will have you glued to each page. It is a classic gumshoe detective story, told in gripping first-person narrative - it's not only a fascinating story, but the facts it presents and the startling information it reveals are all true! THE MAKING OF BIGFOOT exposes it all: the shadowy life of Roger Patterson, the clever perpetrator, and how he did it, as well as the never-before-heard stories of dozens of men and women in Yakima, Washington, who became the victims of Patterson's scams and lies, watched Patterson's scheming in action, and helped to "connect the dots" of one the most successful hoaxes of all time - one that continues to be marketed and falsely promoted even today. Based on forty original interviews, newspaper archives, criminal records, court documents, and never-before-seen photographs, THE MAKING OF BIGFOOT is the most comprehensive examination of a truly American story, a unique slice of Americana in a small western town in the late 1960s, where one man's dream of discovery quickly turned into a quest driven by the lust for money on a contorted pathway of lies and corruption."
