I haven't quite broken the code on the last page, but I want to draw some attention to the last bit:

As for the two pages in the clear, here's some comments on the one about the blue-skinned guy:

"spotted" and "having a broken top, notched" are English translations of Kipoo and Kimawenze, the two peaks of Kilimanjaro.

( http://www.safarilands.org/index.php/books_articles/more/the_meaning_of_kilimanjaro/ )

So the blue man was giving lessons to the child in the valley between the peaks of Kilimanjaro. I'm guessing the blue man was of the water people. Note that the page has the symbol from the broken clay pieces.

The other page draws an analogy between clay spirit traps such as in the Three Kings story, and golems in traditional Jewish writings. Golems are brought to life by inscribing the Hebrew word "emeth" on them. Spirit traps are sealed with the pi-like symbol we've seen in a couple of places.

It mentions that you can break a seal and use the power for your own ends, but that the spirit inside can then take a corresponding action. Did John break the seal and then use the power to further his music career? Did the spirit return the favor by possessing and discrediting John to his agent?

Does anyone have any ideas about the code on the last page. It looks like a book cipher to me.
I have tried it with every text found here but it doesn't work. When i tried it with the Three Kings text it looked promising but didn't work out (i even tried ROT on the results).
The written text under the code doesn't work either.

Silverkun: I Googled on the phrase "having a broken top, notched" since it sounded distinctly like a dictionary definition, not a phrase that fit into a conversation.

And if you want to transcribe the coded page, you will have my endless gratitude. Or at least fairly long-lived gratitude.

looks like ASCII, but getting nothing.

It does indeed seem to be a book cipher.
