You already have all the information you need! The only thing left is to actually look into (or like me, get a librarian to do it for you) the book & find the proper words

i know i already have the information, but 20 minutes of staring at it hasn't helped me...i guess i'll get going towards the city and maybe it'll come to me on the way..heh, i'll have a while to think about it

[RedHatty]

if you think you know which book, remember Amazon has pics of the pages of some books - may help it all make sense

[plugs]

I know what to do and everything, I just can't do it, sadly. I doubt any of my friends in the US have the guts to phone a lbrary and ask for that :p

[MickeyFinn]

of all the rotten luck...i just called ahead to the closest bookstores to me...of all of them, only one sells the book and they're sold out...also the closest library to me has that book, but it's checked out.

try any library in your area - if you're lucky enough you'll get a receptionist/clerk who will go and find the book for you.
That is actually the easiest way to get the answer. The girl I talked to was quite entertained strangest call she'd ever received at the children's department... hehe

[MickeyFinn]

well, there is only one library close, and it was checked out, the next closest library had it on audio tape only, the next closest library after that had it, but i had to drive there, in the pouring rain, got lost twice...but i finally got it.

[RedHatty]

So I guess you no longer need help, eh, bruce?

That is what I did & I only called the library because the online listing was very unclear as to whether the book was available or not. Turns out it was & the clerk was also delighted to help, I just told her it was part of a scavenger hunt game

[thebruce]

hehe yeah, while not ultimately getting us away from the computer and into a library, at least it got us talking with someone and probably brightening their day (and their co-workers')

At my local library

This is totally gettable on Amazon. I spent most of the day scouring the bookstores and libraries of Boston, all of which I visited were out of the book. You can get all but three of the words by searching "inside" the book itself on Amazon, but the rest you have to get from a collection by the author. It has the entire contents of this work and the extra pages you need are viewable there!

Sorry, that guest was me. Thought I'd signed in. Apparently not.

Searched all through amazon and the web and can't find what I need.

Looks like I'll be dropping out the games. I asked snowball if I could get skip this puzzle since I'm in europe but it's not possible. Good luck everyone!

[thebruce]
