A reader writes

Unlike in the world of blogging, it sometimes takes time before someone sends you a comment about the printed word. Email has made it easier of course and I’m all for interaction with readers.
Today, however, I received an email from Random House, who published my first book Codebreaker. Attached to the email was a scan of a letter they had received from an pensioner in Beverley who has read the book and is working through a series of code challenges at the end of the book. He has worked out the first four but is stumped on five and six. I sweated for ages over those challenges so I’m glad someone is bothering to do them. He even calls the book “fascinating”.
He doesn’t have a computer but notes that I have a “Web sight” and the letter looks typed. I’m quite excited about sending him a hand-written letter in return.
