The Egyptian Jukebox: A Conundrum

Beautiful book of art work that leads the reader through a trail of clues to a mystery which is solved in the end of the book. The book is relevant for adults as well as youth and children.

It took me FOREVER to find a copy. Once folks get their hands on one, they don't let it go. I finally found it on ebay from someone who had two. It was worth the wait. The art is some of Bantock's best. The mystery is quite a challenge; it took me quite a while to solve it. Highly recommended!! (Now, if I could get my hands on his out-of-print pop up books, I'd be set.) ( )

What the hell? No explanation of how to solve extremely hard clues. Nice writing, nice visuals. ( )

fun. a graeme base style book for grown ups. ( )

This book is remarkable, mind-bending and beautiful. The process of solving the puzzle is inspired and amazing. My only quarrel with it is that the actual solution feels extremely anti-climactic. The effort of solving this beautiful puzzle has to be its own reward. ( )
