The first book that is entirely on the subject of otherkin and therianthropes, by its own terminology, has now been officially published! Yippee! It's A Field Guide to Otherkin, by Lupa. See the author's post about it for more information.

So much for the "There are no books about otherkin" concept, which wasn't entirely true even before Lupa's book was published. I'm really glad that the first such book was made by Lupa and not by someone else, since she's put a lot of time and work and thought into making it be something fair that describes a very diverse lot of people.
I'm looking forward to reading it, since it does fit into this book-list project of mine. Lupa has said that my bibliography was very helpful to her in researching her book, but I must say that this has been reciprocal, since she suggested a great deal of books of which I was previously unaware.
