The Agony Column Codes & Ciphers | Jean Palmer
1 post | 1 to read
A collection of over a 1,000 secret messages, mainly from the Victorian era, which appeared in the personal columns of various newspapers. With the ever increasing popularity of puzzles and mysteries (i.e. Suduko, The Da Vinci Code), all who delight in solving will find something to amuse here - ranging from the extremely simple to some quite complex systems with several remaining unsolved. For those who are just curious to know what they were saying the keys are given where available.

When one book reads you to another, very random, book. Im currently ready The Puzzler by AJ Jacobs and in the chapter on Cyphers it mentions the tagged book. A book about the decoded secret newspaper correspondence of Victorians… not something I knew I needed but now it‘s on my TBR!
