Well done. This is a very satisfying puzzle.

I finished everything except for the conundrum. I have a 4 word phrase, but can’t make sense of it. Can I PM someone what I have?

That was a lot of fun. I got stuck on the knights tour for a while because I was missing the last letter from the crossword clue. Did not read the clue carefully the first time. 😀
It sure does seem there is room to hide other stuff in the leftovers of the book.
I did find one Easter egg I think. Stare for a while at page 263 and you see a smiley face.
Edit: And additional Easter eggs on pages 56, 122, 220, 245, and two on the back cover.

Hi friends. Anyone willing to chat with me for a minute on The Loop? I fear my obsessive compulsive line pairing is making this more difficult for me than it should be.. thanks! Edit: Nevermind! Patience is a goal... 😊

So far solved everything but the logic puzzle. Am I supposed to end up with the duck on one large square? If so, I'm way off.

Yeah, that's where you end up - I had to run through it at least a dozen times to get it. read through the rules very carefully. I actually never solved it properly after several tries, but got close enough to figure it out. Basically, if you are sure you make the right cuts, you can figure it out from there.

While attempting to just follow the blasted rules of the Conundrum, I find myself vexed and, admittedly, slightly disappointed.. We really do NOTHING with the rest of this fiddle-faddle? I know the author said in this way lies madness, but still... we really don't find our 8 words in the index to continue the fun??

Hi folks, I just recently discovered this site and thought I'd let you know about a few things. The main thing is that there is a Hints and Answer verification system at www.almanaq.com/hints — it can help you check if you're doing things right, and it allows for verification of all the individual matches within the Opening Puzzle. On The Conundrum, the main problem people have is forgetting who's a zombie and how zombies act. Make sure you get that right. People have asked if all the things that look like puzzles on the pages that are left over are completely irrelevant. Well, some of those puzzles (and some within the final grid) are actually solvable. Some are not, for various reasons. None are intended to be solved. I strongly recommend you save the part of the book that has all the pages you haven't torn out. After all, the instructions do tell you to put it on your shelf. Last but not least, if you're interested in The Conjurer's Almanaq abut didn't back the Kickstarter, we got enough requests that we decided to open up "last chance" backing while the BackerKit survey is live, roughly through April 24th. conjurers-almanaq.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Yes, I hadn't forgotten and am looking forward to it! I have the 1st still hanging on my wall, now backwards; I think it's taunting me as I work through these... "Puzzles are here, come look at us" 😆

Thoroughly enjoying the Librarians Almanac and looking forward to the Conjurer's. As to my previous post, It's my naturally rebellious nature, not the book, causing my inability to follow directions, which is more humorous to me than frustrating (so far) ... And I'll blame my towheadedness for thinking the cuts were a joke the first few times I tried to solve lol
