This Friday will be the official launch of the new publication of the reasonably-priced hardback edition of Ivan T. Sanderson’s classic book, Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come to Life, from Cosimo Classics. This new printing contains a new preface I’ve written, and I will have a few copies, hot off the press, literally, for sale at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York City.

I also will have copies of two other books I’ve written that contain large sections about the Yeti: Tom Slick: True Life Encounters in Cryptozoology and The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates Worldwide to sell and autograph.

(If you can’t make it to the New York event, but want your own personalized autographed copy of the new ABSM book or any of the others, please email me directly at lcoleman@maine.rr.com )

The Rubin Museum of Art – the museum of Himalayan art in New York – has asked me to introduce the 1957 classic film The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas on Friday, January 4, 2008, at 9:30 p.m. I will be doing the book signing before opening the film.

If you have seen the film, you will recall that the movie’s Yeti displays an uncanny extraspecial ability for telepathy.

The Rubin Museum of Art is located at 150 West 17th Street, New York, New York.

See you there.
