cracking code

this is a bit of a place marker while I get some ideas together but basically I'm thinking about a code/cypher I read about that had never been cracked (**ref**), it was a () kind of code which I think had a key that was a page in a book, book unknown/page unknown but...
but... there's only a finite number of books and the popular ones will be in googlebooks by now? and since it's just a continuous string on characters I'm wondering if a really long brute force wouldn't do the trick? maybe start by assuming that the book is the bible etc.

work in progress, will get back to you(me)
