Today at a used book store I bought a copy of In Search Of... (1978) upon which the seminal 1970s TV series was based. Skimming over it, I was surprised at just how naive, gullible, and ill-informed it was. Granted, it was written over 35 years ago (and before the modern skeptical movement really begun), but the research was often pseudoscientific and at times explicitly anti-scientific. Sadly, I doubt the book would be much better if it came out today, since most such book writers are either unaware of, or choose to ignore, skeptical research and literature.
