Book Codes Decoded

You’ve probably noticed that each book in the UK editions of the Artemis Fowl series, as well as some other editions, has a strange little design at the bottom. But did you know that that design is actually a code?

And as with all codes, it can be de-coded, to discover the message written in it. On each of the pages below, you will find a picture which tells you the code, if you want to de-code the message for yourself, and further down, you can find the message fully de-coded, for anyone who would rather just see what it says.

Update: Now includes the code from the new UK versions of the series. About Artemis’ first appearance in the paper.

Update: Now includes the code from the new UK versions of the series. About stinkworms; the ultimate fairy delicacy.
