What is the book code in Sherlock Holmes Valley of Fear involving Whitaker's Almanac?

Answer 1

The code itself is as follows:

534 C2 13 127 36 31 4 17 21 41

DOUGLAS 109 293 5 37 BIRLSTONE

26 BIRLSTONE 9 47 171

The first two entries are page number and second column respectively, and the remainder are the word numbers in that column. The three words in the code are not found on that page and column, so they must be written out.

By the way, you will not solve this code with any year of the actual Whitaker's Almanac.
