Book Bound Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

CJ-Curry: Three DNFs by three cachers with thousands of finds between them - this one is gone.

As this puzzle is now ten years old and I can't maintain it easily, I think it's time for it to be archived. Thanks to everyone who kept it going for so long.
