I'm putting this out there because I'm sure there's something going on with this but haven't been able to make anything of it. I'm hoping someone else can.
On p19 we have that multicolored border, the perspective is that of looking through a lens, and the fox has red eyes. On p47 we have that same style of border along with a woman in a revealing red dress in the clouds.
On p11, there is a lighthouse shining a red light on multicolored keys that bear a resemblance to the borders on pp 19 and 47. On pp 34-35 another fox with red eyes, the roman numeral 1947 and the words 'all eyes in the fire'
I feel like these are extremely clear clues that there is a red reveal message to be seen somewhere in these borders. I've tried taking the border pieces, copying/cutting them up and combining them in various ways but haven't found anything yet. Maybe if more people look at this we can figure out if there is anything there. I might not be going about it in quite the right way, but come on... don't you guys think there's something to the idea?

Youve got the connected 19,4,7 on the p. 40 grid, too

Hi, I just started the hunt and have been reading these posts to catch up. Since I've learned a lot from them, I'd like to share the approach I'm trying. To my knowledge, no one has tried it yet. The border codes on p.19 and p.47 strike me as the most likely to hide a key sentence. I'm trying a brute-force approach using a computer program, assigning random values to each color, adding them up, and assigning the values to letters. So far I've run half a million permutations, and thought something interesting would turn up just by chance, but have had no luck. I'll share if anything meaningful comes up. How do you think the code might work? I've read the polybius theory but there seems to be a dearth of 4-runs of a color.

I, too, believe the key hint is hidden on one of those two pages' borders. However, what's got me stumped are the aberrations on pg. 19. (i.e. the "E-shaped" blocks with 8 units and the "I-shaped" blocks with 2 units.) What do you make of this? I also have been using the brute force approach thus far, but with a pig pen cipher variant instead of polybius. Let me know if anything interesting pops up; I'll do the same. -cosmonaut

Hi Cosmonaut, I wasn't sure what to make of those E's and I's, so I started on p.47 and treated the solid ones as spaces, hoping something would appear that would help with p.19. I haven't tried p.19 yet. ~Hedge

Karen, on p. 11, same border, thelast letters of the words (the last in linE hint) give
AT RED
