♥️Valentine's Day Treasure Hunt 2023; hints for 8♥️

In this picture book, a pair of friends
Making hearts until the end,
The number sent cannot be known
But every person will receive their own.

29 Aquila: Number 8 looking for a very high number but not infinity

74 Aquila: It's in the 'valentine's day' 'picture book' tagmash

90 paradoxosalpha: {6, 8, 14}... hardest for me too. Tagmashes using clue signals with "picture book" are useful.

>2 2wonderY: If you do a site search for "tag1, tag2" and then go to Tags in the side bar, there should be a link at the top of the tag search page for "See a tagmash of tag1, tag2".

121 AnnieMod: It was very low on the page for me in the tagmash - look for a big number that does not exist but has the same end as numbers that exist.

230 EGBERTINA: numer 8: there is million- there is billion- there is trillion. find an imaginary number that rhymes. type that word- place a comma; type valentines- no apostrophes. should be first in list, but if not - just look until u see book with those two words. easier than trying to find tag mashes.

235 parlerodermime: I was going insane searching the tagmash suggested in >74 Aquila: and my eyes must have glazed right over it. That original tagmash plus "find in page" and looking for "illion" saved me.

232 EGBERTINA: was it bazillion or gazillion?
those came to mind first.

The whole tagmash thing was not quite clear to me based on the instructions provided thus far. Here's what I did:

1. In the upper right, search "valentines day, picture book" (just like that, without the quotations)
2. Click "tags" on the left-hand panel (under "bibliographic")
3. Above the list of tags, click the message: "See a tagmash of valentines day, picture book".
4. Do a browser page search (e.g., CTRL + F) for the number mentioned in other posts here. There is only one result. Click it, et voila, a heart.

263 krazy4katz: It is the name of a book with an imaginary very large number in it. Rhyme with "millions" but much larger and not a real number. The author is male.

This one was by far the hardest for me
