I think I've seen that used for messages ages ago.  It's a way of
sending info that without knowing how to decode it and the same version
of dictionary, you have no idea what it says.  Just don't lose the book
you use. 

The responses I'm getting sure are interesting.  Some I've seen but
never thought of using myself.  After all, it was a TV show, sometimes a
history documentary or something.  Reading about it here, it makes sense. 

Oh, like the signature too.  ;-)
