Sadly think I know the book too much. I go to sleep listening to the audio version many of nights. It's either that or Coast to Coast AM but both does help to drift off too.

The audio book version of this is finally on Itunes, I already have it on CD, but will add it on Itunes as well. Not a bad solution for those like me who don't like to read books

My whole family has the hard copy with the black cover. My mother was personally given an autograph copy by Graysmith. However, even though the book was copy written in 1985 of 1986, I could swear the book was given to her in 1984.

This book is in the mail heading to my doorstep as we speak. I'm excited to read it. I read the Zodiac: Unmasked book, and though I know the framework of the case I felt that reading the "Yellowbook" was a must.

I also just received The Most Dangerous Animal of All. I feel as though I won't be able to take its link to Zodiac very seriously, but I want to read most if not all of the Zodiac literature out there. My sights are set on tackling the FBI files and police reports...though that'll probably be around next summer.

I read the Stewart book (The Most Dangerous...) right when it came out -- yes, I fell for the hype to some degree. But I don't regret reading it. Well, maybe I regret spending money on it, yes. But I say I don't regret it because it gave me first-hand knowledge of what this guy is claiming. Many of his "proof points" have been debunked, and reading it was a good exercise in observing how people construct a platform they wish to defend. It is very easy to jump on the bandwagon of bashing people making outlandish claims - understandably - but I appreciated being up to speed on the whole debate from all angles, including Stewarts (no matter how much of a stretch it might be.)

wow. I can't imagine reading Zodiac:Unmasked without reading Zodiac first. Aside from the content itself, I found it to be really hard to follow because it jumps around all over the place in the timeline, which is a problem that Graysmith seems to have in his other books as well. Zodiac had a better editor.

At this point I don't know if I would recommend the book to someone who is knowledgeable about the case already, unless you just want to hear things from Graysmith's POV. There probably won't be much in there you don't know about as it is.

Reading is one of the many tools of the devil!! Not really. I do have this book, but have only browsed through it. Need to sit down and read the whole thing one of these days.

I have read the first Zodiac book many, many times; even knowing some of it's falsehoods. I still find it a good read. There is something about it...
