The Big Book of the Unexplained

This book is a great collection of bizarre phenomena. The artwork, as is typical of Factoid Books, is just beautiful, and I often find myself reading the same passages over and over again. A true must-have for any lover of the unexplained. My only qualms about it are that some of the "facts" are copied verbatim from their sources (I've looked), but it's permissible in the face of the overall achievement. Buy it today.

I've owned just about all of the "Big Book of" series published to date, and this is clearly the best. In fact, it is the only one I kept when it was time to move and I needed to lighten the load. It is just so darn entertaining- and you find something new every time you pick it up. That is why I bought it in the first place, instead of being a rehashing of stuff that I already knew about for years, I actually learned some significant new things. If you are jaded and think that there is "nothing new under the sun" try reading this, it will expand your horizons. It covers everything from crop circles, synchronicity, the crystal skull, ancient high tech, space/time anomalies, alternate dimensions, alien abduction, death of the 5th sun, etc., etc., etc....And it is all tied together in a humorous way by the character of Charles Fort (The Book of the Damned.)

This entry from the Paradox Press Big Book series will really make you think. It examines all unexplained phenomena and assorted weirdness. Ever wondered about UFOs, Bigfoot, and the like? Read this book, and it just might make a believer out of you!

I have become a huge fan of this book series since I picked up the Big Book of Little Criminals. This book does a great job of describing all the wierdness this world has to offer. The best thing about this book and the others in the series is that you can show an article to someone who would not otherwise be intersted in the subject, since the "Comic" format is so easy to read. Highly, Highly recommended.

If you're like me and think the X-files is tame pap compared to the real weirdness of the world, this book is for you. It's a comic-book summary of some of the stranger phenomena of history, including a few fascinating things not convered in "mainstream" paranormia. It's not just flying saucers and bigfoot - there's plety of other strangeness that is interesting and disturbing. The comic-book presentation actually brings home the effect of the phenomena, from cartoonish parodying to starkly realistic portrayals of strangeness.Best of all there's a bibliography for useful research . . .
