Someone digging thru rubbish in the back has found something of interest...
It appear to be a chldren's book. It's hexagonal and printed on something that reminds you of Tyvek. It's written in an unknown script, and has drawings on the lefthand pages and text on the right hand ones. After examining it, it appear to be intended to be read "backwards" (that is, what we'd consider the back cover is the front cover with the page closest to it being the first page"
The first page pair has a drawing of a child. Fairly young, laying down stretched out on some grass. The "frame" of the drawing is a hex rather than a square or rectangle.
The second page pair has a small yellow hex outline in the middle that holds what looks like a 1/12th scale copy of the drawing on the first page. There's an adult next to the child. There's a line with a bar at each end next to the child. There's a line next to the adult that's twice as long and has a bar at each end and another across the middle of the line.
They are stretched out on the ground near a house(?). You suspect it might be six sided. There's also a line extending from top to bottom of the hex that forms the "frame" of he illustation.it's divided into 12 segments.
The third page pair has a small yellow hex outline in the middle that holds what looks like a 1/12th scale copy of the drawing on the second page. The rest of the picture is a triangular "block" with other hexagonal houses on it. along with portions of surrounding "blocks".
The fourth page pair has a yellow hex outline in the center with a 1/12th scale copy of the third page image in it. The rest of the page is a triangular street grid with some non-residential stuff beginning to appear at one side.
(I won't mention the yellow hex outlines from here on unless they are needed for scale purposes)
The fifth page pair has the town and surrounding terrain.
The sixth page pair has map of area with various terrain features, towns, streams, roads etc. "state" sized
The seventh page pair has more terrain, large lake/small sea, mountain ranges, perhaps the edge of an ocean?
The eighth page pair has continents and oceans to the edge of the picture
The ninth page pair: still more land and water.
The tenth page pair has land and water but mostly abstracted, vague texturing and color coding that might be climate/vegetation and relief.
The eleventh page pair is much the same but the bottom part of the page has more desert and the top has more "snow/ice" terrain. These are arranged in curving bands centered somewhere well off the bottom of the page.
The twelfth page pair: lower part of page has circular hole about twice the size of the yellow hex in the center. with a stylized sun in the center of the hole. The terrain/climate band are centered on the hole. parts close to the hole are desert and even "red hot". Areas far from it are depicted as ice.
The thirteenth page pair: there's a disc with a hole set slightly off center from the yellow hex. and maybe twice as big.
The rest of the pages are missing, torn out with ragged edges at the binding.
