Inverting the colors helps to bring out the watermark...not sure what the symbol is however...

As to the cipher...

Chapter, Paragraph, Word and Letter wouldn't matter in a different printing of a novel would it?

Only Page and Line would be off.

I'm still trying to figure out why people are delving into vague "clues" like these "watermarks" that may or may not be relevant when there is a clear puzzle element (the numbers) that doesn't have an explanation. Focus on what you're given, people. :)

Except that this type of code is almost always done by page ... not to mention that not every picture has all four elements.

Actually it would.. Alot of books are re-edited years after they are released. So some versions of books have entire sections added or even removed...

[Super-Magician]

The answer is "Murder at the Vicarage".
