Was it an Amazon print-on-demand paperback (which is the format that’s available to purchase on Amazon), or something more substantial? I’m writing a story-driven puzzle book myself (though a very ...

Re: Page 63

This was an EXCELLENT book! A very special shout out to Yoda and Aldersmith for their excellent contributions. I couldn't have done it without your pioneering efforts. Definitely looking forward to another one. Maybe a book with a little more backstory? Maybe a prequel that elaborates on the excavat...
