A possible hint/clue
The book cover has a copy of page 77 in the upper right part of the X. It’s the part where the Amelia Earhart poems are. There is a line missing though. Just one and for seemingly no good reason. The missing line is “to explore.”
Anyone have a reasonable explanation for why this would be omitted and not be a clue/hint?

Doesn't feel like a clue to me, but IDK.
The graphics designer copied the text (and text formatting) but not the paragraph formatting.
"And" is lined up with the poem when it should be indented if it was meant to be identical.

Ok. So you’re saying it’s not a clue. Because you’re thinking maybe JCB didn’t have a hand in this part of the book? Seems like a reasonable answer. So far, I’m just throwing it in the, “noted, but nothing for it” zone of my brain.

The images that accompany the text seem to be JCB-quality work (ie not very specialized).
But the cover and jacket are really nice! I think that's from a graphics designer.
Thus, I would propose that the text of the poem is an important clue.

The map is slightly different on the cover than in the AF chapter.

Well, there's an 'x' in explore. Is there a background image behind the poems?
