Summary: A Book For The Rational Person
Review: Ronald Binn's "The Loch Ness Mystery Solved" is well worth the effort of looking for an out-of-print book. It is a balanced look into a mystery that should have died years ago. And although many "So Called" Crypto-zoologists claim to be open minded, they so often knock down the plausible and rational explanations for many of the monster sightings. This book presents a middle of the road look at the evidence, or lack there of. It is ashame that other books on the subject are not written with the same fairness as this one. I recommend this book to all those who are willing to look at the real evidence and not the hysteria that is so often presented to the public at large. To say that this book is "close-minded" or "mean-spirited" is far from the truth. Binn's gives credit to many of the explorers that have spent years looking for the creature, and he presents their words to counter his own arguments. If you want a really good presentation of the history of Loch Ness and the Mystery surrounding the elusive monster then find a copy of this book. A book for sane people!

Summary: A worthwhile tome of Loch Ness evidence.
Review: Ronald Binns has clearly made a thorough search of the volumes of evidence relating to the Loch Ness enigma, as this detailed study covers and reveals many new thoeries and ideas promoted by lesser known 'authorities'. A book which I would recommend to anyone interested in the subject.

Summary: Ah, rational thinking!
Review: Sherlock Holmes said,"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever else remains must be the truth." So simple, it's brilliant. The reality is there IS SIMPLY NO PLAUSIBLE EVIDENCE for the existence of a monster or monsters in Loch Ness. Mr. Binn's does a commendable job of logically explaining all of the so-called evidence. When we eliminate the outright fraud, natural occurances, and blurry, indistinct photos, we're left with nothing! The fact is most of the sightings can be readily explained without having to resort to cryptozoology. He cogently explains standing waves and other curious natural happenings on the largest body of freshwater in Great Britian. If you read one book on the entire Loch Ness phenomanon, make it this one. Then move on to the book, "Why People Believe Weird Things", by Michael Shermer. These two books will shed more light on the enigma of Loch Ness than all the long range, blurry photographs ever will. Note that this book is out of print, but Amazon.com delivered it to my door, much to my pleasure. Where else could I get such service?
