Many codes require a key to be read. Perhaps the book is in code, or there is a message hidden within the text which requires a key to translate?

Judging from the Pairs deck illustrations, this seems to be a physical key. Something that matches to a lock of some kind. The book is related somehow, perhaps instructions on what it unlocks and how to use that item.

Vell Count Wolketstorfer sez he buildz de Neuralistic singularity detector to be findink der key so I tinking der key iz more dan chust a normal key. De only tink I can figure from de detectors name iz dot zounds like he iz lookink for sumtink like a tinking black hole? But dot zounds efun too krezzy for der Hetrodynes,let alone der storm kink. Hoy, vaiting for de next page iz not der normal Jager vay.

Well actually, having got the Pairs deck in hand, I've been able to take a much closer look at the writing inside the book on the card.... and (gonna put it in spoiler quotes since it will probably be a spoiler for upcoming plot) The page has a drawing of Orotine, the muse on the 2 card, along with detailed sketches of a muse's hand mechanisms in various poses on the facing page.
Personally, I'm interpreting this to mean that the book is in fact Van Rijn's research notes, and that at some point we're going to see not only Tinka restored to full functionality, but Otilia back in a new body and all nine muses coming central to the plot in some capacity
