Reviews

Admirable piece of work - exceedingly well written and will give a number of people 'furiously to think'. Dr E.J.Dingwall A striking example of an author's participation in his own book. Philip Norman, SUNDAY TIMES There's too much evidence for it to be simply a matter of invention. Robert Shields, THE OBSERVER Well-attested occurrences that cannot be explained in any normal way. OXFORD TIMES The sheer volume of reported facts is extraordinary. NORTHERN ECHO The material he discovered is sensational - The book deserves a high rating for readability - Ken Cooper, LUTON EVENING POST Baffling, intriguing, and patently honest. EXETER EXPRESS & ECHO You may be inclined to dismiss Mr Playfair out of hand, but he is an excellent writer, and presents his voluminous evidence and entertaining comments with clarity and humour. HUDDERSFEILD DAILY EXAMINER A sympathetic (though not gullible) investigation of psychic phenomena in Brazil. BRADFORD TELEGRAPH & ARGUS Will definitely provide even the most sceptical with food for thought. CUMBERLAND EVENING NEWS & STAR An important book which will, I hope, arouse some interest in the scientific community. Sam Syers, HAMPSTEAD & HIGHGATE EXPRESS No-one with even the slightest interest in ESP, psi and the like should miss reading The Flying Cow. Recommended for everyone without any reservations whatsoever. PRETORIA NEWS A brilliant and stimulating work which opens up a whole new set of possibilities for mankind. Andre Fodor, BRAZIL HERALD
