"For 2017, the WBN United Artists tribute is to all the weird and wonderful, scientific and practical, believing and sceptical endeavours recorded in publications about the Loch Ness Monster - hence the apt title of BOOK ISH NESS created by Linda Parr. On 10th March 2017, a research party of 13 members met at Fort Augustus, Scotland. The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau (officially formed in 1961 closed in 1972) was rebooted in early 2017 after a myriad of monster sightings in lakes, rivers and seas from Denmark, Norway and Sweden, to Germany and the Netherlands, and even in Minnesota and New Jersey, USA. The LNIBR research team had five days in which to conduct their investigation of Loch Ness, keeping watch day and night. A fortunate encounter with naturalist and Loch Ness researcher Adrian Shine of The Loch Ness Project in Drumnadrochit offered insights for the team's quest and is acknowledged with grateful thanks for the sharing of his expertise. Our artist's book, investigation report BOOKISHNESS is supplemented by the many sightings recorded and printed in the publication. These sightings were sent in by individual witnesses and will over time be validated by stringent testing by the LNIBR. Alongside photographic evidence, we have published for the first time, a bibliography of new editions on the subject of the Loch Ness Monster sent in by authors and the general public."--Information provided by Sarah Bodman.
