Description

I’m offering up my copy of this wonderful book by Peter with a cool lock by Shane Hales.


Please Note:  There is a slight bow in the front cover that does not affect the lock function.  Having said that, if/when you receive and are not completely satisfied with it I will offer a full refund, no questions asked, John.


Peter Hajek wrote about it:


“The richly illustrated hardback book covers the history of boxes with secret opening; their flourishing at the turn of the 19th and 20th Century in England, Japan and Switzerland; the work of the three pioneers of puzzle box art – Wood, Chambers and Kamei; and the greatest achievements of modern masters currently active in Japan, America, Europe and Australia. There are also sections on puzzle box secrets, puzzle locks, and the current 'puzzle scene'.”


Note: 

‘This is an edition of the book by Peter Hajek, described on its own page, locked with a trick lock by Shane Hales.’
