I found the best way to decode was to write the 2 rows of 26 letters one below the other.
Top row being 25a + real name (ignoring any letters already used + balance of letters in alphabet.
Second row - 16a + balance of letters in alphabet not used.

A letter in the second row must be decoded to it's opposite letter in row 1

For example if you have K in grid - this become D
in the book title. W's stay the same G becomes H and so on.

I do hope you can understand what I'm trying to say.

Many thanks Tony. All finished. What to do with the rest of the week? I'm accustomed to fiddling with the EV through the week.

One line is : tomsawyerbcdfghijklnpquvxz
The other line is the author's pen-name, then his full real name(3 words) \nd finally all unused letters of the alphabet. Remember each letter of the names are only used once.
Hope this helps.

Apologies for my previous reply. I hadn't read the second page of this thread.
