the clue came in a post from kara:
TO: THE CIRCLE
FROM: KARA
SUBJECT: STROUD/CHICAGO
Members of the Circle,
Last week we were led to believe that Jack Stroud, the man we now believe has the Book of History, would be at the skydeck of the Sears Tower in Chicago. A member of the Circle showed up at the Sears Tower at the appointed time, however Stroud was not there. Instead, they found a business card taped to one of the windows. It was a card for Josef McElroy, President of Skydeck Holdings. It wasn't long before we learned that we weren't meant to meet him on the top floor of the Sears Tower; we were supposed to meet at Skydeck's office several floors below.
The operative went to the office and found the door unlocked. The office was empty except for a small table set in the center of the front area. On top of the table was a deteriorating book. Moby Dick. The operative noticed that there seemed to be a message embedded in the cover. She carefully unbound the book and discovered the attached (see image).
Examine the book cover and determine what its purpose is. If you figure it out, email your findings to Paradise.Sage@yahoo.com. Our best guess is that Stroud is telling us where he will be next. A word of caution: I am concerned that Stroud is using our website and forums not just to communicate with us. It could be that he is communicating with Marsuvees Black right under our noses.
Good luck,
Kara

that file when looked at reveals the text:
Skydeck holdings Joseph J McElroy Pres. 233 Wacker Dr. Ste. 9570 Chicago IL 60606
thursday @ the h(o^2)use of dekketti
meet (the word meet doesn't seem to fit where it is placed)
the place of eve's genesis
The o^2 isn't in parenthesis but when you look at the white letters you see an M,the o^2 and an F which, when you play with the letters gives you FOOM (o^2=OO) the name of the studio that is making the graphic novels for ted.
There are also the numbers 978159554072 which is the isbn for ADAM, ted's newest and best (in my opinion) book.
the references in the text all refer to the books Adam and House in one way or another. Dekketti means Dekker/Perretti who worked together in house. The place of eve's genesis is a reference to adam. When we looked again at the foom studios websit we sayw that their blog:

A reminder…I will be hosting a private screening of HOUSE tonight in Conway, AR. If you are in the neighborhood stop by. We only have room for 50 people, though, so come early. Also, before the movie starts we will be showing an exclusive interview with Ted Dekker about his latest book, ADAM.
WHAT: Private screening of “HOUSE” the movie
WHERE: 1210 Hogan Rd., Warehouse #600, Conway, AR
WHEN: 7:30 p.m.
the address, when lookded up on any map site, turns out to be a fake and even addresses similar just turn up to be fake. This confirms the clue's part in the search, but I don't know why cause of course this all must be real. ;^)
Several people then emailed paradisesage with the info. We are, yet again, waiting on another clue

Haha every time I try to Google a variation of Skydeck Holdings, the first listing is your site.
And Conway, AR is where Alex and Jessica Price hailed from.
Wonder if the "Hogan Dr" is a subtle homage to Peretti; Marshall Hogan is one of the main characters in Peretti's Darkness novels.
