Not seeing many updates on it post-2005. We sure it hasn't been accidentally discovered by now? I would think a team of puzzle-enthusiasts would have taken it on, torn it apart, and solved it by now.

Does anyone have a personal review of this book? Anyway I just did the cryptex puzzle on the website. Not really hard, so I'm not sure that anyone is still giving out a million dollars.

From the website:
I solved the cryptex in 00:03:04 (hours : minutes : seconds). I challenge you to try to answer the question in less time than I did.

I really had my heart set on getting a nice hard cover book. But they seem to be sold out. I inquired over at their facebook page and the author offered autographing a paper copy, which was nice. They also tried to up sell one of their limited edition copies but $500 for a book seems a little much. I know it's a good cause but I think $100 would have been a more reasonable entry level donation. I think I'm just going to wait to see if there is a second printing so I can put it on a nice shelf with my other hard cover books.
