I LOVE THIS BOOK

This book brings so many memories... I had it as a child and I remember even cutting up the book to try to figure out some puzzles. Alas, I was too young to fully comprehend everything and now I'm too old to remember much of it. It took me months to track down the name of this book because I totally forgotten it but luckily the images are branded in my memory. I love this book. Perhaps the hunt is no longer on but the book can still be enjoyed for its mystery, illustrations, and challenges. I bought the "collectors" book on this website and now I am in search of the video... ahh a treasure hunt for the treasure video! Lolz, 20 years too late... Any leads for me?

the search

A copy of this book was given to me when I was 14 years old and I loved it so much that I wanted to share it with everyone. I gave it away to a good friend in high school and then we lost touch. I haven't seen the book in years but I still remember the haunting story and the beautiful illustrations. I recently moved to San Fransisco and found myself (half)remembering scenes from the book and searching for clues in Chinatown! I always look in bookstores for it and plan to buy another copy one day.

Movie still availabe

Treasure: In Search of the Golden Horse

One of the best puzzle books ever created. It kept me working diligently for years along with countless others including two fellows that solved the puzzle after the contest ended. They dug up the empty box in a mountain pass in Colorado just to prove to themselves they had solved it. (The gold horse and money had already been donated to charity.) Dr. Crypton, the puzzlemaster, is in a class alone for fiendishly difficult, but fun and absorbing puzzles. I wish he would do another one. There was also a Treasure video with clues and I logged many hours studying that as well. It was solvable - I cracked part of it - but you just had to believe you could actually do it and not give up. That was the ultimate secret for the guys that figured it all out.
