Looking for 1982 copy of The Secret A Treasure Hunt

[Gingerbread]

I figure it's a long shot but I'm looking for this book for a Christmas gift. Has to be the original 80's edition cause I'm pretty sure that's the only one with nice color photos.

I’ll save the pic to my phone to keep an eye out at thrift stores I usually go on Sunday though so not for a week. Do you have a pic of the spine?

Ditto what @AzaleaArt said.

I can order it… or you could, probably, if this is it?

Here’s the Book link on thrift books too. I order from them a lot.

 

[Gingerbread]

Yeah, the trouble is finding the one with color illustrations which I think is limited to the 82 printing. All of the reprints I've seen only have black and white pictures. Or listings just won't show any pictures of the inside therefor leaving me suspicious I've found some but asking prices are much higher than selling prices. ISBN 9780553014082

You get in on that 4+ books for 100 bonus points too? ^_^; it's kind of grotesque how much money I spend on that site

 

[Gingerbread]

Oh, boy. So that site didn't currently have what I'm specifically looking for here but I find myself going down the rabbit hole.

Thanks that’ll make it easier to spot on a shelf

This book is nuts...9 of the boxes still unrecovered.

I have an email in to a rare book store that I love. They have a little bit of everything. I will let you know what they say

 

[Gingerbread]

Thanks everypony

yeah, I think he just wants it for the "interest" of it, I can't imagine anyone I know finding anything. Gotta assume people would've solved them by now if they weren't practically impossible but hey, I guess you never know LOL but I think your odds are better at winning the lottery and those odds are already too high for me LOL

bidding on one on ebay, crossing hooves it doesn't go above my budget

Did you ever find it? The ones about this book are my favorite Josh Gates episodes!

 

[Gingerbread]

Actually, I did

YAY I love happy endings! I wish you all the luck in your treasure hunt!
