My secret message is for all who have chosen to read this book because it starts with the End of the World.
Most of you will know the author from the Discworld series, which this book isn't part of. Pratchett writes cleverly and it shall be a great loss when the day comes that he can't remember to do so anymore.
This task completion belongs to the "spur of the moment" category. Its a easy code to crack if you have the book (it needs to be the same edition with physical pages.. so sod off cyberbooks, nintendobooks and alike). If you do need help in getting started send me a message and I will give you a key to what all the "P00"'s and just "P"s mean. (Wow! Sorry about the crudeness of that pun...)
For this task I had to read half the book in a manner I have not read any book before. And for my publisher friend I can say I am well trained in book paragraph layout now. And I can also note that the english language does not start their sentences with the letter R very often. Oh... and because Cookie is a soft toy (and follows slightly different traditions) read his message in the same direction as the semitic languages are read.
When you crack the code PLEASE DO NOT PUBLISH IT.
