Other pics in the zip are scans of a book (presumably THE book)
Strangely: a book is basically cubed (6 sides) 4 sides are scanned and of the front two scans are in the zip.file.

Cept for embossed lines, dogs and stars there are no original markings on the book. However there are:

white chalk(?)marks: mirrored questionmark (front) and a smudge(back)
black penmarkings: squibble and a line on the front
a [W] on the back next to it some smudges that could be a mirrored 41 or 14 or... nothing
1 yellow squibble
watterdamage
rustcolored specks commonly seen on old books.

Pic of the side:
The book is 8 'sets'/katern(dunno the right word) thick. Such a set is always 8 bound sheets. 8 x 8 x 2 = 128 pages of text. In the middle even the added page can be seen. Also the shadow of a left hand can be seen.
HE HAS GOT A HAND!!! Probably means he's righthanded as that is the hand he would use to start the scan.

Why write this as everybody can see it?
I noticed that taking things for granted is a surefire way of missing stuff. Describe what you see and find it will make things trigger when they become an element in a puzzle.

Why switch from hadwriting to semi-handwriting? ((((I just hope this isn't plotrelated the typeface dates way after WWII (80's?) and would make it a complete fake))))

Okay, how'd you get the zip open?

Never mind.....gah that ticks me off after spending so much time trying to figure out how to open it, and it gets fixed after I go to bed.

[draghkar]

That is basically why i posted the pictures, so that everyone would be able to see them.

Greetz,

I just downloaded the zip file and there were 7 files in mine. There were the pictures of the book, and then the pic of the two pages and another file called "thumb.db" I don't know whether that has any significance (probably not knowing my luck) but I don't know what a ".db" extension is.

I'm having a blonde day!

[PatRol]

@misery: (JFYI) A file named Thumbs.db is used by Windows XP. The OS stores various info about the files in this database-file, that are part of the directory and it stores thumbnails of the imagefiles that are also part of the directory.

[misery_of_pain]

ah ok I had a feeling it was a database thing, but I don't have XP so it didn't make much sense (Yes, I'm running ME.. it's the ONLY thing my puter will allow!!)

Okay stretching here......

Last letters of both chapters:

STEHTESTYDOSEEND ADEYAPOMWSNLHETS

Probably just coincidence but I though it odd that they begin and end in a mirrored 4 letters.

If you take the "halfway" as a comment....rather than using that line's letter:

STEHTEST DOSEEND
STEH TEST DOSE END

No clue...just blabbering....

Ok,

In the book munchen writes:

[Puppy_Zwolle]

path
trace
crossroads

He wants us to be boyscouts? This is asking for a hands on aproach... but behind my computer I only see the letters of my keyboard.

I think it could be the way only ... what way? Missing and extra letters:
B the S.... anybody seen more? This set does not anagram... cept to "the BS" and thats no help.

Haven't You Realised Yet?

'Ream' is an odd word.

IN FACT... Dream is more appropriate.

I'd therefore like to speculate that D is another letter to add to the mix.

THEDBS - The Databases? Bedths Debths.. Debts H....

I dunno.

I'm stuck on viewing the open spine of the book as the middle vertical line in the symbol, with the "crossroads" being the two intersecting lines of the symbol on the left and right pages (coresponding to the intersecting lines to the left and right of center on the symbol).

Can't say I've gotten anywhere tho.
