      Regarding this information and the physical book:
      • 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 (starting from the first 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 1, I think the "brick texture" reference does refer to the arched wall.
      • re "castle on page iv and folios": After comparison with the information in book 1 of the series, this seems to refer to a small stylised castle drawing at the top of the copyright page, plus even 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.
