[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 5704538, member: 7006"] Are you willing to make replicas of the books themselves, or do you want the puzzles to remain written in nature and thus you only have to write up a page or two from each book? Reason I ask is that if you're willing to make replica book covers... you could line up say ten books side-by-side in a particular order so that all the spines face out... then draw a map across the ten spines. When you then take each book separately, you can then add the title and author of the book (making sure not to cover over any important parts of the map), and hopefully the lines of the map become just pretty background designs on the spine when looked at individually. This forces the players to go get most (if not all) of the books, so as to make sure they have all parts of the map. Especially considering if you don't mention that the actual puzzle is a picture and not written inside them... the players won't possibly realize what the puzzle is until they have the physical books in front of them and they just happen to line the books up next to each other and notice that there's a picture drawn across all ten spines.
