I hope this makes sense
I found the Masquerade code listed elsewhere and I applied it to the ISBN# of 014029828.
Here's the Masquerade code...
0 = C 1 = T or M 2 = AS 3 = H or Qu 4 = E 5 = R 6 = A 7 = D 8 = E 9 = IN 10 = IN 11 = E 12 = D 13 = A 14 = R 15 = E 16 = Qu or H 17 = AS 18 = M or T 19 = C
Now, apply the letters to the ISBN numbers. Also, I had to choose between using "1" and "4" separately (resulting in the letters M,T,E) or using them together as "14" and giving me an "R."
M,T E
0 1 4 0 2 9 8 2 8
C ---- R ---- C AS IN E AS E
Note that I had to choose either "M,T,E" or "R."
One possible anagram using only the letters below the numbers is "scenic areas." Sounds promising at first but the whole island is a scenic area!
My notes show that I've used this method with other numbers in the book with interesting results but they need to be rechecked.
Does this make sense? Are my fundamentals correct?

I love the idea, but I think you have the wrong number. The last 8 (in my book at least) is a six I'm pretty sure, just looks kind of like an 8 from far away...

Thanks stipareth. I give up. Looking at that 828/ 826/ 816 I see that that 1 is a different than the one in 014, so it could be a 2, just not as clear as the one in 029. But what this comes down to for me, is if these numbers are this hard to decipher, maybe they are not that relevant, like some of the map elevations. If we need a magnifying glass or close-up photography, are they really what we are looking for? I think if we are supposed to use numbers, they should be ones everyone can agree on, ie: the signs. I do like your idea of applying the letters for 'c masquerade in' backwards to fit the corresponding numbers. 0/19= C, 1/18 = M etc. Have you tried applying this idea to other numbers in the book? Don't give up yet!

I agree. The numbers must not be too important- at least I hope not.
I won't quit...yet. I've got another thing I will throw out there.

I've gone back and forth on the "if they're that hard to decipher". I can see both ways.its the same thing with the 18 old lady magic square the 8 actually being green. You just dont notice at first. Intentional clue or herring I have no idea.
I'm a painter myself and when you photograph and downsize to print sometimes those things with the 6 vs 8 just happen...they may have been clear as day in the original. Noticing the ambiguity, but clarity under scrutiny, could have just been unintentional added bonus to either a real clue or a red herring. Either way, even slightly enlarged (as the original most likely was) it doesnt appear to me to have been painted ambiguously in the first place. Just my guess though.

** another anomaly that drives me nuts is the 1927614...I mean if one were playing the lottery with that and this isbn came up they'd hit five numbers. I'm not a math/code person so maybe this is common.
Math/Code people- any insight?
(Personally it looks 014 029 826 but thats just me...if anyone thinks those are 1s at the bottom its the same thing but another hit on a one and a miss on the 2)

100% do tell how? I'm only swayed to the six cause when I blow it up, and especially in b&w it looks like 6...I believe you, just wondering what I'm missing...

So if we are keeping track, we have three different opinions on the last two digits of the ISBN number?
28 16 26
wow

Additionally....we are 4 digits short of a 13 digit isbn.
We also have a RED 44 and a YELLOW 68 on the MAP (coincidentally also the red letter word)
Could RED YELLOW BOOK (in whatever order) be getting at a 13 digit number for someplace (hint hint lol) ??
