I was looking around for more info on the book Richard placed in front of Locke, and I don't know what to think. I saw
Flaneuse took it to be Alister Crowleys "The Book of Law". I looked on Lostpedia and they reffered to it as the "Book of Law" or the Torah (first five books of the old testament, I think). I found a book called "The Book of Laws" by Harold Faber but that was published in 1979 so we can count that one out for obvious reasons. Then I came across this article on Newsday.com in the TV blog.

Here's the question: What was the book?
It was called "Book of Laws." Not "THE Book of Laws." And definitely NOT "Book of Law;" that would take fans down a very precarious and unpleasant path, for that particular book was written by a 19th century mystic who made William S. Burroughs seem like a normal dude. You will - and no doubt - already have Googled the title, "The Book of Laws," but it's a dead end. (Yeah, the title referred to a law tome from the Plymouth colony in the early 17th century...) Could it actually refer to that? Seems doubtful. Very doubtful.
Could Darlton have thrown a Red Herring in our midst, sending "Losties" down a path that leads nowhere?
Naaaah. They'd never do that. (Would they?)

So now I am downright confused. Thoughts anybody?
