This review is from: Hydra and Kraken, Or, the Lore and Lure of Lake-Monsters and Sea-Serpents (Paperback)
Overall I find this book to be not worth the $. The book is small and pocket size with mostly already known information. The information is good for a beginner. It is a good book, but not worth the $.
