The Times Union of New York has posted, on December 28, 2012, a scrambled but favorable overview of the new book, The Untold Story of Champ: A Social History of America’s Loch Ness Monster. Paul Grondahl’s “Champ: Hook, line and sinker” is an attempt to capture what Robert Bartholomew is trying to do in his book, and for my tastes, the reporter gives too much away about Bartholomew’s conclusions.

The reporter’s view is that the book is a skeptic’s eulogy of Champ. Read the article and the book for yourself for details.
