Byron Preiss is best known, to me at least, for editing the Weird Heroes and Ultimate monster anthologies. In 1982 he published The Secret, a book of art and poetry which were to be clues to unearthing a dozen boxes hidden in public parks. The boxes contained a key which could be exchanged for a $1000 jewel. Only two of these have been located, in 1984 and 2005.
