Can someone please help me unlock the book?I'm trying the combo from Mags walkthru but cant open it.

Can you give more info about the puzzle? I can't place it in the game.

I got it Mag,thanks ,whew!

Ah - this is Becky's walkthrough. I have not played the game.

Looks like - it is very important (as triggers) to underline references to events. Did you click on references about the town?
Did you also click on the gear icon after underlining.

Maybe a replay before touching the book.

Just to iterate:
Unlocking the Book

While the device is together, you can now hear the sound each "wheel" makes when you click the raised rectangle button to set the device. You know which wheel you are hearing because the most recently turned wheel glows red once the device is together. When each "wheel" is correctly aligned, it will give a low, satisfying clunk sound when you click on the raised rectangular button when the two pieces are together. When it's incorrectly aligned, you'll hear a higher, less final click sound when you click on the raised rectangular button when the two pieces are together.
------------------------------

With the device in two pieces, click the "wheels" until all the etched rectangles are facing toward you (original default position). In my game, this was how the alignment worked:
Starting with all the "wheels" with the rectangular etching facing toward you in default position --

And starting left to right:
The first wheel will be rotated twice.
The second wheel will be rotated twice.
The third wheel shouldn't be rotated at all.
The fourth wheel should be rotated three times.
The fifth wheel should be rotated once.
The sixth wheel should be rotated once.

Click on the handle to put the device together. Click on the raised rectangle and the device "sets." The book is now unlocked. Open the metal case and take the book. It goes into inventory. Right-click to bring up the inventory and right-click on the book to examine it. Page through the book to satisfy your curiosity (there are small arrows at the bottom of the pages to click on to read the next page). Right-click to put it away in inventory.

---------------------------
Great that you got through. Enjoy the game.

Maag,I got it by clicking once on the third gear.The walkthru says to not turn it at all.

Ah. Glad you found the solution. Enjoy the game.

There seems to be a book lying beside a cart but I cant click on it to examine.Maybe I;m in the wrong place,but I've been all over.

Hi,

Is this another book or the one you unlocked?

If so, the wt states after you unlocked it - Open the metal case and take the book. It goes into inventory. Right-click to bring up the inventory and right-click on the book to examine it.

Am I lost again?

It's another book.Walwthru says go to Old Building go thru gate into a field with a cart,Theres a book on the ground near the cart.Examine it.I see what looks like a book but I don;t get the examine option.

I think there's a bug in this game I cant click on the book and now I cant rotate the torn papers in the house to put together.Thanks MaG,I think I'll quit .

Check the video walkthroughs and see.
This is at the old building and this is at the gate.

That video walkthru was a great help,moving along now,thanks MaG

Wonderful. Enjoy!
