In the form of illustrated fictitious journals of a sixteenth century travelling monk called Magnalucius, the book was originally boxed with a map and a pendant. By correctly identifying 15 points on Magnalucius' journey and submitting a written answer to the publishers, the Dragontooth prize - a large blackened tusk mounted on a bronze handle - could be claimed.
Time passed without this hunt being solved and the publishers eventually closed it down. Apparently the author is happy to confirm any solutions sent to him by email.
