The Egyptian Jukebox: A Conundrum by Nick Bantock

A richly illustrated mystery hidden inside ten drawers

Very good condition – light rubbing to dust jacket, spine straight, boards firm.

Eccentric millionaire Hamilton Hasp has disappeared, leaving behind an extraordinary cabinet known as the Egyptian Jukebox. Its ten drawers contain curious objects, documents, and stories gathered from his travels, and each may hold a clue to his whereabouts. Commissioned by Hasp’s daughter Tanis, the reader is invited to examine the artefacts, follow the connections, and solve the conundrum linking ancient and contemporary worlds. Nick Bantock combines fiction, illustration, collage, and visual puzzle-making in an imaginative interactive book that rewards close observation. Mysterious, playful, and beautifully designed, it offers a distinctive experience for readers who enjoy art, riddles, and unconventional storytelling.
