I have the Where in Time one, but the magic marker doesn't work anymore... whatever chemical was in the pages has gone inert over the years, so it just colored and didn't reveal anything. Truly sad.
 
Invader
I did not know that about it, kinda sad that it no longer works. I wonder if one could try rubbing alcolcol to get the marker back in shape? I dont want to ruin the book I have though.

Does the marker not work, or the reactor on the pages no longer work?

If the marker is red, and considering that it's non-toxic, the 'ink' is probably a water-based solution that creates a pH reaction to reveal something acidic on the pages. Using anything with anthocyanins (maybe a juice made of red/purple cabbages) should reveal the marks.
 
Invader
My guess it that it would be a yellowish colored base, with a black outline like most books of that era magic marker wise, and I dont want to test anything on such a nice copy. I can say I can kinda feel the coating on some pages of mine , others I feel nothing.
 
Invader
Ok from what I can tell some of the mark areas are textered some are not, if I tilt the pages right i can see the images, and the suff on top of them, seems to be flaking off. I also noticed the pages themselves are getting what is known as foxing, a bacterial decay with books. Giving them a molted brown color. Perhaps this might be part of why it no longer works as well.

    So... if you were drafting a cast (let's say voice, as if animated, and then, as if live action (preferred)... so do it as "cast/cast") for a potential Carmen movie (big movie... think Fellowship Of The Rings-level big... (assuming someone had a big enough story/script, and could find all the other people)... who would you want?

    I'm working on continuing it, but input would be good. Maybe if it could be finished, maybe it could be printed as a book, or maybe sold as a movie (only for a big amount, and the original author get's a big cut)... if anyone, after reading through that folder (it's a live folder, so updates on my end go live when I save. If you have something to add, stash it someplace and let me know... I'll try to work it in as the story stands.))
