    Looking for info on this mysterious book I found, named "A Pirate's Scroll by Brion the Pirate."

    It contains a code, for which it only give me one clue (see pics below.)

    This book tells me the symbol \ is decoded as the letter N.
    There must be more books out there! Lets solve this puzzle!
    *Just post your symbol and corresponding letter*

    (This is not my book, not my riddle, I've been looking for info on it for weeks now without success, so I figured I'd start the adventure with this thread.)

    This is what I have so far. I also have a headache...
    0’s are place-holders for unsolved letters.

    I think its substitution cipher

    I think e is $ and ; is s

    ~ is a or I it's the only character alone

    Do you have a text version of the book? So I can do a unique character count and mass replace characters to see if anything pops out

    I think I figured out all but 3 letters. Need to confirm it
