[edit] Is this article Wiki-worthy

• Notable - Is the book notable? Yes, see the New York Times Listing.
• Neutral point of view - is this article NPOV? Partially, the content is netural, but slanted towards information on the treasure hunt, which may be the most notable aspect of the book.
• Verifiability - is this article verifiable? Yes, most references are provided to the official hunt site, or to the book itself.
• No original research - is the article orginal research? We may have some problems here. Until the rings are found, this article may include speculation on the meaning and imporance of clues. Need to be careful here, to only include hints that anyone can open the book and see with their own eyes.
