You actually already have three on your list: William Owen's "Loch Ness Revealing Its Monsters," Owen's "Scotland's Loch Ness Monster" (as a variant title for "The Loch Ness Monster"), and Rosemary Border's "Loch Ness Monster." That leaves six, of which one, the Furneauxes' "The Loch Ness Monster and Other Mysteries," is a partial (as indicated by its title), and another, John Bateman's "Loch Ness Conspiracy," appears to be a novel. Down to four! Three are apparently relevant juvenile titles - Harriette Sheffer Abels's "The Loch Ness Monster," Jeanne Bendick's "The Mystery of the Loch Ness Monster," and Ian Thorne's "The Loch Ness Monster." The fourth, Robert D. San Souci's "The Loch Ness Monster: Opposing Viewpoints," appears to be adult non-fiction (in a "casebook" series). <br /><br />Looking a little more closely at a few items already on your list: Jean Flitcroft's "The Loch Ness Monster" might be eliminated, as it appears to be juvenile fiction. I believe that the Martin Klein et al. and Robert Rines et al. "Underwater Search at Loch Ness," listed separately, are the same book.

But I'll now go through the nine titles mentioned by one of his commentators, and see if they qualify. Thanks again for the suggestions.Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-13949555221600957602014-06-26T00:59:24.340+01:002014-06-26T00:59:24.340+01:00Thanks for the info, Patrick - I'll check out ...Thanks for the info, Patrick - I'll check out Glasgow Boy's bibliography, but yes, I do include juvenile titles in my list, as long as they are clearly non-fiction, and I am particularly interested in adding as many foreign-language titles as possible. Because all books must concentrate entirely on Nessie (and/or other Scottish Loch monsters, e.g. Morag of Loch Morar), I have reluctantly had to omit certain classic works, such as Tim Dinsdale's The Leviathans and its updated American edition retitled Monster Hunt, as well as Peter Costello's In Search of Lake Monsters. I'll add to my bibliography the relevant ones from your above comment, so thanks again!

His: no fiction, no juveniles, no foreign language. Yours: no fiction, no partials, and I'm not sure where you stand on juveniles. There are a few items from his list that might qualify adding to yours, by Warren Smith, Barrie Robertson, Alex Harvey, Joseph W. Zarzynski, and J.F. Derry, possibly others. He mentions in another post a second compendium of Wikipedia articles by Russell & Cohn, "Loch Ness Monster in Popular Culture." One of his commenters at the main list mentions nine additional titles, one of which you've already captured (William Owen's "Loch Ness Revealing Its Monsters"). Of the other eight, several may be fiction or juvenile, but several appear to be straight adult non-fiction, and probably all eight should be investigated to make sure.<br /><br />http://lochnessmystery.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/books-on-loch-ness-monster_13.html<br /><br />http://lochnessmystery.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/nessie-books-plesiosaurs-plagiarism-and.html<br /><br />http://lochnessmystery.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/some-old-and-new-nessie-books.htmlPatrick Murthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103905929956454199noreply@blogger.com
