To log a find on this cache you are required to

• post a photo of a book that you have at home where the author’s name starts with the letter D
• the photo must be of the front cover and show the author’s name, not the spine as the author’s name is sometimes abbreviated on the spine
• the photo must include something on the book or next to the book which identifies you (eg pathtag, sign with your caching name etc)

For the purpose of this cache, the author’s name starts with the first letter. For example

• Enid Blyton starts with a “E”
• J. K. Rowling starts with “J”
• “S” is the first letter for the joint authors Susannah McFarlane and Lachlan Creagh and Lachlan Creagh cannot be used for “L”
• the author cannot be the editor; for example “The Penguin Best Australian Short Stories” edited by Mary Lord cannot be used for “M” as editors do not write the complete contents of the book they have edited
• ignore titles (such as Sir, Dame, etc); “U" is the first letter for Dr U Know Alot

Lastly, you cannot use the same Book Title / Author combination used to log any letter in the Book Title series. You can, of course, use the same author but of a book with a different title. For example if you used the book “The Valley of Horses” by Jean M. Auel for your “T” Book Title, you can used the book “The Mammoth Hunters” by Jean M. Auel for an author starting with “J”.

With those ground rules in place, you can start rummaging again through your books. By the way there will by just the 26 caches in this series (not many author’s names start with a digit!!).

Our example for this cache is  David Guterson who wrote "East Of the Mountains".
