The free Nov. 24 appearance at Lemuria Books pairs a 5 p.m. signing with a 5:30 p.m. reading of Gore’s illustrated search puzzles.

All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
A sloth in a Costa Rica scene and a baguette in a Paris illustration are among the details readers can hunt for in Blake Gore’s HIDDEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD. At Lemuria Books, the book’s miniature scenes provide the subject for both a signing and a reading.
The book moves among illustrated settings inspired by places around the world, from Tokyo to Amsterdam. Rather than simply depicting a destination, each scene gives readers small details to search for—a format that makes careful looking part of the puzzle.
Visit Jackson describes Gore as a miniature artist and the book as a seek-and-find title for adults. That audience description may help readers decide whether its detailed visual puzzles suit them, but it is not an age rule for the event.
