I learned about this book through the Discovery Channel, and I was fascinated that this treasure hunt is still going on today! I wanted to read the book to see if I could somehow contribute to the treasure hunt.
It's not easy. The puzzles and images in the first half of the book are very difficult to understand. It doesn't help that the book is being published by a new print-on-demand publisher, and the images are all grainy and low-quality resolution. It's easier to see the images in high definition on The Secret's website.
The second half of the book is a guide to fairies and other magical creatures that descend from the original fairy immigrants. It is mostly satire. Each entry includes photographs of puppets and sculptures meant to portray the fairies inscribed. I was hoping that these field guide entries would provide extra clues toward the treasure hunt, but I have yet to discover any hidden meanings (and I'm sure many others have tried this method before me).
Still, a very interesting book, and a remarkably creative artistic project.
