Peter Costello’s 1974 cult classic In Search of Lake Monsters invites mystery lovers on a richly illustrated, 400-page hunt for the world’s most elusive water beasts. Blending archaeology, folklore and first-hand reports, this vintage Granada paperback laid the groundwork for modern cryptid studies and still thrills hobbyists and arm-chair monster hunters alike.
The book shows its age with gentle page toning and occasional foxing, yet the tight binding keeps every map and drawing crisp. A former owner added a discreet personal stamp on the front endpaper, giving this copy a unique touch from a smoke-free home and making it feel like a fellow explorer passed it along.
Ideal for young adults or nostalgic adults, this affordable leisure read doubles as a quirky reference on any shelf. Add Costello’s illustrated investigation to your collection and keep the legend alive.
