There were a lot of cryptozoology books that came out in 2014, and it looks like 2015 will have just as many good ones.

I know Loren might have a few more books out this year, including Loren Coleman's Cryptozoology and The International Cryptozoology Museum Journal. Doug Waller of SOSBI should also have his second book out this year. (Check July 25 update.) Ken Gerhard will have his 4th book out later in 2015. Once I get some of these books I'll review them on here. It looks like we're going to have a lot of good ones this year! At the end of the year or early in 2016 I'll be posting what I think are the best cryptozoology books of 2015 from the ones I'm able to get.

DECEMBER 26 UPDATE: You can check out my list of what I thought were the best cryptozoology books of 2015 (from the ones I got) here.
Loren Coleman also posted his list of the Best Cryptozoology Books of 2015 on CryptoZooNews.

Like my list of the Crypto books of 2014, this post will be updated over time.
