Book Recommendation: Scientific Paranormal Investigation
Keywords: book
So I decided to send an email to Ben Radford, skeptical investigator and co-host of the Monster Talk podcast. I had a question about his investigation of the KiMo Ghost, and I mentioned that I was looking forward to his new book, "Scientific Paranormal Investigation" coming out. He told me that his book was already available, I just couldn't buy it from Amazon.com yet.
Then he offered to personally sign a copy of the book for me. I readily agreed, and about a week later I received the book in the mail:

As promised, the title page is signed by Radford himself:
I've never had a book actually signed by the author before, so that's kind of cool.
Of course, I take this to mean that we're now best buds. I know he still hasn't responded to the last email I sent him, but we're in tune so I understand that he's just busy and he knows that I'll forgive him for not answering my question right away.
When you're on the same wavelength like that, you don't need to put this kind of thing into words. I know that he values and respects me, after all he did show it by sending me a personally signed copy of his latest book. How many people would he do that for?

....... Shut up!!!
Okay fine, so he does it for everybody. Big deal! You can tell by the way he wrote "Keep It Real!" for me he really meant it. After all, he used an exclamation point and a smiley face!
In any case, even though we're best buds I'm not about to sacrifice my integrity and give him a glowing review in spite of what I might think of his book. So fortunately for him, I found the book to be very engrossing.
A couple of quotes from the book really appealed to me:
