These are great way to send messages in code as they are quite easy to do, but almost impossible for your enemies to break! Why? Because they have to know first the exact copy of the book that you used.
What you need:
Two copies of identical book. ( A dictionary is an exellent choice as all the words you could need to put in code will be in alphabetical order; and therefore, easy to find. )
Steps:
1. Write out the message you want to send.
2. Swap each word for one in the book using the page number, line and position to show which word you have used.
Example:
You want to encode the word YOU
Look it up in the dictionary. Let's say it is on page 448. Write this down.
Then, count down to see what line the word YOU is on. Say it's line 28. Write it next to 448 after a comma or any character you like.
And finally, count along to see what number in the line the word YOU is used. Let's say it's the first word on that line.
You can now write the word YOU as 448, 28, 1.
