Read this book about how in the 20th century much of the paper record was destroyed by another technology, Mircrofilm.

Science Looks at Mysterious Monsters (1982), by Thomas G. Aylesworth, is a library book, by which I mean, this was a book conceived, produced and marketed with libraries in mind. There might have been a retail version, but I haven’t seen it. This one sports a reinforced library binding and was issued with printed boards and no dust jacket. On the back is a quote from the ALA Booklist: “For those libraries needing more information on elusive monsters, here it is.” The excitement is palpable.

I kid, sort of. That cover is pretty great. Sinister Sasquatch, a squall of crosshatching, the green on gray, that horror novel font. Lots to love there. Inside is fine, too. Aylesworth cover the big ones — Bigfoot, Yeti, Nessie — then surveys other critters of land, sea and lake. He’s pretty skeptical, but not so much that the book isn’t fun. He includes an illustration of the bizarre monster from Lake Tagua Tagua and captions it, “Some people will believe anything.”
