I posted an article on the MW website on the signs of Fandango:. I share some of it below. If a searcher took the first letters of the place names on the Red Signs pointing to the right on the page, they would be able to spell out the word ‘YELLOW’. Definitely seems intentional. The signs are: York 167 Eastport 82 Lookout Point 5 Lubec 77 miles Otter Creek 6 W Tremont 12 Now if a searcher took the first letters of the Blue Signs pointing to the right on the page, they could spell out the word, ‘RED’. The signs are: Roque Island 18 Ellsworth 18 Duck Cove 9 And if a searcher took the first letters of the White Signs pointing to the right on the page, they could spell out the word, ‘BOOK’. The signs are: Bar Harbor 3 Old Town 48 Owls Head 69 miles Kennebunkport 116 There is a white sign, with ‘Nepal 10,107’ that doesn’t point to the right (it’s straight), and seems to relate more to the border phrase found on the page, ‘To the Highest Point’. Mt. Everest (a highest point) is in Nepal. There are only two left pointing signs on the page. They are: 98 Portland 309 Montreal The Montreal sign points to the license plate numbers 131491 which can be translated to ACADIA by taking the position of the alphabet letters to the number (1=A, 3=C, etc.). It’s also been noted by a member in the Armchair Treasure Hunt group on Facebook (please feel free to join), that the first letters of the left pointing signs give PM; a possible Time/Post Meridiem reference. Important? Adding the left pointing sign numbers also give 407, which is the elevation level of Mt. Kebo (according to some accounts). Another sign to note is the Sieur De Monts Spring sign. It has a mysterious ‘symbol’ in front of it. On page 56 of the book is a map with similar symbols representing ‘Points of Interest’. Sieur De Monts Spring is a point of interest on the map. Is this a hint to more? Although not a sign, but on this page, are dice hanging from the car’s rearview mirror showing the numbers 4 and 1 and another showing 6 and 1. These numbers add to 57. Which interestingly might connect to the date (year 1957) on the Wine Bottle on page 30 of the Fandango book. On page 30 are many more items which seem to hold clues, but in relation to the signs is the fact there are lots of books on shelves here. One of which is Orange with a title: ‘In the Lake of the Woods by Tim O’Brien’. The ISBN number is thought to be inaccurate. Could the Yellow and Red Book words, found by the first letters on the signs, hint towards this Orange Book? (since red and yellow make orange). And if so, why? And do the numbers on the signs hold additional hints to something more? Do other signs and their letters hold hints?

It also came to mind that maybe the 'RED' signs are red herrings.... and so maybe the orange book is not to be looked at, but others.

Here's something that I came up with. Might totally be a coincidence.
The 4x4 number square, which corresponds to the letter square, give us: 1 M 2 AS 3 QU 4 E 5 R 6 A 7 D 8 E
I couldn't help but notice that there are signs that correspond to the same pattern, so M in position 1, AS starting in position 2, etc.: Montreal or Machias Bass Harbor/Eastport Roque Island
etc.
I was hopeful that this was the key to figuring out missing letters from the number squares (if you go with the assumption that the other cells of the square are meant to indicate: CMASQUERADE_IN_ _ _ _ _ H _ T
But I couldn't get anywhere with this, so it might just be a coincidence.
Also it only works if you count the POI sign at the beginning of Sieur De Monts Spring as a character.
Anyone else notice that he always makes an I lowercase? On the T-shirt of the lobsterman and also on these signs. Wonder what that means. Little Eye?

I've never really paid attention to the fact that there are other signs that we cannot read on this post that we only see the back of...one of them in the middle has a small yellow square on it and is clearly a yellow sign painted on the other side. Does this yellow square mean anything?
There is also a small orange square (presumably from another hidden sign) beside the sign for jonesport. It reminds me of the little squares/rectangles I commented about earlier on the key page..page 11..by the zodiac symbols.

I know there is FACE that is spelled out on one of the pages..and I think there is a face that has the precise map to use

It’s probably been said somewhere already but the dice also show 1,1 which is also known as snake eyes. So this page has an “eyes” reference in it too.

Hello, everyone!
This is only second post ever on this forum, so hello!
I've noticed something about this page that feels super off to me. Why does Somesville say 12 M? Why "M"? We were assuming that all the numbers referred to miles, but doesn't "M" mean meters?
This also got me thinking: Why do only two other signs have measurement specifications after the numbers? -Lubec 77 miles and -Owl's Head 69 miles
The addition of the word "miles" is inconsistent. I was toying around with numbers and got this: 77 + 69 + 12 (the only other "oddball" number) = 158. Converting 158 to letters gets "AEH." The first letters of the places from which those numbers were taken (Lubec, Owl's Head, and Somesville) are L, O, and S. All together: A, E, H, L, O, S. This can be anagrammed to "HALOES." Could this be a reference to the smoke signals page, which has smoke rings that look like haloes?

I don’t know if any one has every really pointed out the M/m/mile’s thing. I’ll have to think on.

The other thing that bugs me every time I look at this page is: The position of Sam’s car. This ain’t Britain- he shouldn’t be driving or parked on that side of the road. Is it just artistic license or significant?

Could be another hint to reflection again...

Just a thought...maybe...somehow...instead of drawing a straight line through the eye to a letter, maybe it reflects back to a letter

Or an eye reflects thing? Maybe every image is a mirror image of what we are supposed to see. I have tried looking at the images in the mirror and didn't find any big reveal, but, but the backwards EAST on the Turning Tide illustration reads correctly, Sam's car is on the correct side of the road, and if you turn the page sideways, Harley Quinn's compass reads with NSWE in the correct locations.
