Editions · codes · the trail
Every page here that you have found hands you a short code. Copy it into the boxes overleaf and nothing else happens: there is nowhere to send it, no account to send it from, and nobody who could tell you that you had it wrong. This book is the only copy that matters. Lose it and the codes are still on the pages; write the set out again and it will all still be true.

Four US Letter sheets, portrait. Print at 100% / actual size and turn off “fit to page” — the boxes only line up if the printer leaves the page alone.

The trail

THE WAY · THE WILD · THE MAN
The trail · seven steps
| # | What it is | Found | Anything you want written down |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A riddle, from the porch step | ||
| 2 | A picture clue | ||
| 3 | A picture clue | ||
| 4 | A cipher | ||
| 5 | Look at the page source | ||
| 6 | In the box | ||
| 7 | A picture clue |
Each answer is a web address, so a wrong one simply is not there. One of the seven came in the box and one is at the top of the ridge; neither of those is written down here.
Read aloud, if you are the sort: the answers are all ordinary words a person would use for a hill or a bird, and each one is a folder name at the end of the address you are already on.

How to print it, and what it costs
Nothing. The book is the whole page: no account, no download, no code, no email. Press print, stack the sheets, and staple them down the left edge.
Print at 100% / actual size with headers and footers off. If your printer asks whether it should scale the page, say no — the stamp boxes are sized for the page box, and a fitted page prints them a shade small.
Four sheets: a cover, a page of codes for Edition 01 with two blank editions ruled under it, the trail, and the notes. Print them one side only and fold, and the blanks sit on the outside where you can see them.
Every code you copy here is yours. We never see this book, we could not see it if we wanted to, and there is no address on this page to send it to.
