ARGOSY: "FIRST PHOTOS OF 'BIGFOOT,' CALIFORNIA'S LEGENDARY 'ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN'"
Dayton: ARGOSY, "THE NO 1 MEN'S SERVICE MAGAZINE, 1968. First Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. Item #5031054
February, 1968 issue. Eleven (11) page cover article by Sanderson on the nearly 1 minute 16mm film footage of a female sasquatch/Bigfoot taken by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin on Bluff Creek, northern California, Oct. 20, 1967. This was the first nationally published account by famous cryptozoologist and (zoologist) Sanderson. Photo illustrations in color and b/w. In spite of countless attempts over the last nearly 60 years prove the film a fake, it appears that critical and objective critical studies of the film, itself (as a film), and the creature in the film are holding their own. This issue of Argosy is a landmark publication the subject. Copies come up on the market, especially the auction market, not infrequently, but seldom does such a nice copy appear for sale. A near fine copy. Tiny chip on bottom edge of front cover. Very short tear top of cover closed. Back cover with a corner chip and a couple of short tears. No addressee mailing sticker. A brilliant copy. Very scarce thus.
