    Williams, Kit.
    MASQUERADE.

    Edition: First US printing.

    New York: Schocken Books, (1980) dj. Hardcover first edition - An elaborately illustrated book which "sparked a treasure hunt by including concealed clues to the location of a jewelled golden hare that had been created and hidden somewhere in Britain by Williams. The book became the inspiration for a genre of books known today as armchair treasure hunts." Unfortunately, three years later, the treasure was found through inside knowledge, rather than actually solving the puzzle and a bit of a scandal ensued. Nevertheless this is a beautiful book which still rewards a close look for a hidden hare in each picture. Large format, unpaginated. ISBN: 0-80523747X.

    Condition: Fine in fine dust jacket.
