Day 4 was tricky/tedious, well if the pattern continues then we should have one very long question for day 5. Weesnaw?

<spoiler=About the rocket>It's not Apollo 13. It's Saturn V. Googling Saturn V will bring the photo which is used in the puzzle up.

I think it's too much trouble to assume it's a rocket we aren't familiar with. The rocket that jumps out first and foremost in mind is the Apollo 13 rocket, so I say we go with that until one of the admins say otherwise.
The same rocket was used in all Apollo missions. Well, the same model of rocket, of course.

Numbers=ISBN
Conan Volume 10: Iron Shadows in the Moon
or
Beasts of Burden
or
Cauldron
Based on single digit Apollo missions
I have no idea what this means though.

That's interesting, but I got a different book, and one much more intriguing.

I suspect it means you have the wrong numbers

Huh, well, now that I have what each picture means I have a very definitive thing from it. Just not entirely sure what to do with that now.
ISBN for a book by some guy I'm sure we all know of.
Yes, but where do we go from there? That's the problem.
I totally hope we have to read it for a clue, because I have it next to me :)

It's alright. About to pass out. Been a tiring week :) Been very impressed with the groupmind. I'm hoping we stump you, but logic tells me you'll have it cracked by morning. Not because I think it's easy, but because you simply haven't failed yet. That's a good record.

'course, records are meant to be broken.

You seriously think they'll tell us if we're on the wrong track? That's so cute.
Actually...no. You have a point.

Has anyone read the book in question?

We need to figure out what the next leap is. I wonder if we're just supposed to buy the book and it's all been a ploy this whole time?

Since everyone else is posting their results, I figure I will, too. I've got...
Ninetales (9)
Seven Dwarves (7)
Stop sign (8)
Neo/The One (1)
Johnny-5 (5)
Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails (9)
Bobcat/Samberg high-five (5)
Octopus (8)
The Olsen twins (2)
The Saturn V (5)
The Two Towers (2)
Dante's Inferno (9)
Two-Face (2)
Resulting in the sequence:

9781595825292

EDIT: I thought this might be a red herring, but considering the little discovery some of my fellow escapists have made, I don't think this a coincidence. We're on track, folks. :D

Here's what I've got:
The digits, of course
9, 7, 8, 1, 5, 9, 5, 8, 2, 5, 2, 9, 2, most likely. It's a data set, but I don't know if I should arrange it somehow...
The background is either Oriental or Renaissance. I doubt that has anything to do with it, though.
Bar code's a good idea too, though.

Mode Note - Spoiler tags are your friends :)

Wow, that's a fantastic find.

Seriously.

I hope it's not a false clue.

I have. I'm skimming through it now, but nothing comes to mind as being helpful.
It'd be cool if it was a "Page 98, Line 8, Word 1" ouzzle, but that's wrong
