-- "Cryptozoology A to Z, the first encyclopedia of its kind, contains nearly two hundred entries, including cryptids (the name given to these unusual beasts), new animal finds, and the explorers and scientists who search for them. Loren Coleman, one of the world's leading cryptozoologists, teams up with Jerome Clark, editor and author of several encyclopedias, to provide these definitive descriptions and many never-before-published drawings and photographs from eyewitnesses' detailed accounts. Full of insights into the methods of these scientists, exciting tales of discovery, and the history and evolution of this field, Cryptozoology A to Z is the most complete reference ever of the newest zoological science."

-- This book contains information and photos on many of North America's most allusive cryptid animals. Be advised, however, that this book also goes into some detail about American folklore such as the Jackalope, Gatorboy, the Earwig, Jackolanterns, gremlins, etc... It's a great introduction to cryptozoology and North American folklore.
