CZ Book Review Contest

Online Cryptozoology Book Review Contest

How this works:
You can submit up to three book reviews for this contest. Once you have written a review, it must be posted online to Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com and available to read there by the 17th of September, 2007. Once it is up on the site, you must send an email to ChadArment@verizon.net to let me know that you are submitting that online review to the contest.

Basic rules:
1. Any non-fiction cryptozoology book, from any publisher, (including a reprinted classic) is eligible for review, so long as a) the current ISBN was first published between 2000 and the present, b) it is still in print and available from distributors (not just the used book dealers), and c) is at least 75% focused on mystery animals (not a general Fortean anthology, etc.).
2. The review needs to be honest, objective, and intelligently written. The rating you give the book will not be taken into consideration.
3. The review must be posted under your "real name," not an anonymous name.
4. The review must be new, posted between now and contest's end.
5. The review should focus on the book, its merits, its scope, and/or its implications for cryptozoology. It should not be a generic discourse on cryptozoology, the author, or other irrelevant points.
6. Obviously, authors shouldn't review their own books, but are more than welcome to review others'.

The individual with the most interesting review, as judged by myself and a small cadre, will receive their choice of:
Does Champ Exist?,
Oudemans' The Great Sea Serpent,
or Cryptozoology and the Investigation of Lesser-Known Mystery Animals.

(Yes, "interesting" is subjective: I'll be looking at conciseness, depth, detail, and discernment, as well as personality, clarity, and insight. Simple enough, right?)
