my own private solution

in regards to the pages and pages of "random" symbols, i have found there are many ways to solve clues. for example,the window in zac's shop with yorah on the side is like the statehood quarter with the old man on the mountain on the side. it collapsed=levees broke. hold it up to the light and the win of window appears inside the chrysalis=pod. dow is outside. yorah is a tree.combine dow with tree,dow tree,a am id finalist. the tools spread around the table are like the back of the tennesee quarter.dover delaware, first of the twelve quarters paired up with twelve insects,dover,over,dela ware,war over plus noel. happy xmas(the war is over) plastic ono band. noel(12-25) can be solved numerious ways,lone ranger(clayton moore),area code of baton rouge,noel redding,red baton.to get an eclipse you fold the two circles together on the dollar bill.half a pyramid looks like a mast,anna's nose. line it up just right and the word greed appears on the bottom,the greed states.greedo,bounty hunter,reader of book.MDCC appears on the bottom of the mast. another clue elsewhere was doctor sees(cc). end of sentence. period=er ipod. pale drophidian,apple drop,newton,one of the first PDA leading to ipod.12 columns on back of fiver. capital on top of ionic column has scrollwork .like ms said you dont need to go to the sloop where the ark is hidden,you just call him on the phone. IOOI nights of sheherazade,two cherubim,cher sarkasian la pier.cher's full name. start seeing things musically and things fall together rapidly.summon a ring=mus(ic) on a ring.i believe the pages and pages of "random" symbolslike many other clues,can be solved many ways. for me just counting the number of things between vertical lines.y=1,z=2,a=3,b=4,c=5,etc.2199,the price of the book is zy gg,see zy gg.using this in other parts of the book,like the lines with red rabbits in them i came up with words like zac,cla(Y). I ALSO TOOK THE FILLED IN LETTERS AND FILLED IN MOONS AND SUNS TO BE HOLES,HOLY BOOK, HOLES IN THE LEVEE,THE CLAY IS ACHING.anyways the clues lead to the black smith shop,leads to the sloop where the chest is hidden.but you just stay home and call up the number in baton rouge and say clay aiken or john lennon. i wont fully elucidate the number to call, its probably disconnected anyway. a total explanation of this 'solution" would be extremely long.i havent even got into eagle=e gull,gull wings,google.or the eye on the pyramid,rossini,william tell overture,lone ranger,the back of the delaware quarter,or CNN. the book is filled with too many clues.
