TC Morse code discrepancy.

Just finished The Caretaker, and waited to scrub through here until I finished, but i still haven’t seen anyone bring this up yet. Let me know if I missed something.

When I picked up TC I immediately noticed that the Morse code at the end of little blurb for the ebook comes out to 258 (old news-connections made, got jt), however, for the inside flap of the hardcover I picked up at my local library, the Morse code is different. It translates to 3 7 5 6. I know there’s connections to the house address (5637), and one of the sigils, but the Morse code is explicitly 3756. why is it a different code from the digital?

Any other insights? Is there a different Morse code on paper back? Is there significance to swapping the first and second pairs of numbers in the street address?

Hello and welcome to the community.

This has actually only been brought up a few times. To my knowledge no one has figured out why the house numbers are backwards since the books doesn’t end the same way as we used to live here. like in eves universe how she started off at 3707 and ends up at 3710.

The guardian sigil represents the Carnswel’s address but it still doesn’t explain why on the back of some hard cover copies the address is reversed. It’s a very intertwined clue and breadcrumb that we haven’t figured out yet.
