Found this book at the Pour House, already registered. However, the author released another book with the same BCID - so I re-registered this one, before sending it out on a bookray.
If the author would like to add this book to his shelf, just pm me and I'd be happy to give you the new BCID. That way you can follow where this book goes as well.
Here's the link to the original release of this book.

Got in mail today - look's great. I'm very intrigued and will start tomorrow or Monday!
This book is tiny - it took me a day to read it. But it would take me a month at least to go through it the way it's meant to be. Unfortunately, I couldn't get up enough interest to really dig in.
For some reason, I thought the stories themselves would somehow serve as both clues and incentives to become involved with the hunt. But really, they were pretty uninspiring - more slices of life than stories, and though they're filled with clues I'm sure, there wasn't anything that got me particularly interested in the hunt. In fact, you could read the stories without even knowing about the hunt - although, I can't imagine you'd want to.

If you register, they have a section where people are discussing the book and clues. This helped me tremendously to understand how you approach unraveling the book.
The official website offered little help. I also found out the general store referenced in one of the stories actually existed on Staten Island. That about sums up my work on this book. I'm passing it on - hopefully, someone else will have more time to unravel it and will post their findings here. I'd love to know the "answer" but I'm not inspired to do the work.

Arrived in today's mail. Looks like a funny little read. I'll get to it soon. : )
Hmmm..... This is probably a really good mystery that if it were winter and I had more time I would enjoy sitting and taking notes and trying to figure it out, or at least make an educated guess. However, it is spring and my "to do" list is almost as big as my "to be read" list so I did not have the time to really dig into the book like I think this read calls for. The stories, were interesting, almost in a poetic way. I will pass on this week to the next Bookcrosser on this bookring.
Got it in the mail just now. It may be lying around for a while, as I just started another book. But it's intriguing enough that I won't be able to resist it very long.
It's interesting, but that's about it. I couldn't really put up the energy to try and figure out the clues (even though I did, unconsciously, weight every word...). As for the stories themselves: they're nice, but too short to be of any real interest. They just don't have enough of a story-line.
A wrong choice I guess, but that happens ;-). On to the next one soon!
