Geocache Description:

I'm a writer, so I can say without irony that books are my life. If you love books too, then this cache is for you! Solve the simple puzzle below (the coordinates posted above are meaningless) and you will have the coordinates you need. There is a special FTF lammy-bookmark for the first finder. Good luck!


.

Congrats to LCSM for FTF, and to all-the-way-across-the-continent Nylimb, the FTS on record.

The cache contains gently used kids books (thanks to Trex08!),  books from my own sagging shelves, and many ARCs -- advanced reader copies I receive as a book reviewer.

While it's not absolutely necessary for finders to swap a book for a book (I have LOTS of ARCs), trades are very welcome. Unfortunately the container isn't big enough for most hard covers, but it should hold paperbacks and most trade paper editions. Please bag or wrap the book you're swapping (or just slide it into the bag from the book you're taking home).

As always, please be respectful of the cache location. DO NOT cache here at night.

To work out the correct coordinates, consider the following list of books:

James and the Giant Peach, by Roald Dahl

Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll

Isabella: Girl on the Go, by Jennifer Fosberry

Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card

Beowulf (author unknown)

Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte

The Tale of Despereaux, by Kate DiCamillo

Good Boy, Fergus!, by David Shannon

Jack and the Beanstalk (anonymous)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
