This morning I did a search on Amazon: Kindle nonfiction ebooks found on the first eight pages by the word “cryptozoology.” I was delighted to find my newest book in the number one spot.
The results are under two conditions: only nonfiction ebooks whose subject matters are primarily related to cryptozoology or one or more cryptids. I found plenty of novels, and a few books primarily about paranormal subjects such as ghosts, UFO’s, and non-biological weirdness; none of those are included.
I don’t mean to imply that my ebook Live Pterosaurs in Australia and in Papua New Guinea has been the number one bestseller every day for the past two weeks; but I promote it as a serious work, worthy of attention in the cryptozoological community and elsewhere.
It was time consuming, examining many books to determine if they were genuine nonfiction cryptozoological ebooks. Rather than spend almost an entire day on the project, I stopped after eight pages and the following 32 entries (low number means a book is selling better):

Live Pterosaurs in Australia and in Papua New Guinea
I believe in living pterosaurs and hope they will soon be officially discovered. More important, I believe in you, that you can soar above dogmatic assumptions about extinctions. I hope that you already understand that we are more than a by-product of culture: Our existence transcends the boundaries of the human cultural assumptions that have shaped our beliefs.
