    • The title on the cover is in "silver foil" and this hasn't scanned well.
    • re artwork: Copyright page states (a few more line breaks here, to attempt more clarity):
        Cover illustration, maps and gifts by Jeremy Reston. Logo design by blacksheep-uk.com. Internal photography:
          brick texture on page i and iii © GiorgioMagini | istockphoto.com; castle on page ii and folios © ivan-96 | istockphoto.com; skull on page 55 © Frankie_Lee | istockphoto.com; ring on page 73 © Czalewski | Dreamstime.com; dragon on page 84 © ZarkoCvijovic | istockphoto.com; bird on page 129 © Elena Belous | istockphoto.com; wolf head on page 165 © Tronin Andrei | shutterstock.com
      Regarding this information and the physical book:
      • Not sure what the "gifts" refer to, unless it is the unicorn in the "Q" of Quest (repeated in silouhette on the spine). [Might become obvious after read the book ... clarkmci]
      • Not sure what the "logo" refers to - perhaps the fancy lettered series name? ... or maybe the device around each chapter number?
      • re reference to "brick texture" - the inside of the front and back covers show a brick wall (full page). Although there is a section of brick work on unnumbered page i and iii (starting from the first physical page of the book) plus on the last physical page of the book, this is part of a small section of wall with apertures & wolves, above a stone arch that takes up 3/4 of the page. ("Night time" image, so hard to interpret.) After comparison with the information in book 2, I think the "brick texture" reference does refer to the arched wall.
      • re "castle on page ii and folios": After comparison with the information in book 2 of the series, this seems to refer to a small stylised castle drawing at the top of the copyright page, plus smaller instances just above the page numbers in the body of the text.
      • The illustrations in the text of the story are small. Most look more like drawings than photos. Some are not referenced above. Some are a mix of the acknowledged "stock" item with or over unacknowledged items. e.g. the "skull" is on a stone & there are 3 other stones with other patterns on them in the vicinity.
      Due to the ambiguous / seemingly incomplete information, only the maps are included as "interior art" below, and only Jeremy Reston for the cover.
