Tragic. Ganchrow had a brain hemorrhage and fell on his keyboard in the middle of writing a puzzle.

It was bound to happen, he's been running that brain in overdrive for a long time now. It takes a toll.

You'll be missed.

I can see 38 but what does 2 mean?

It is time for a hint!

Were I to consider 'A' the 0th letter of the alphabet then I'd probably consider a SPACE to be the 26th letter.

Because of the way vBulletin sometimes handles line breaks I replaced the spaces in the above ciphertext with underscores.

Good job Data. I almost missed this.

You are now officially a Duke of SBR Puzzles.

A copy of the book in question will be on its way to the address I have on file for you as soon as I receive confirmation it's still valid.

Thank you again, sir. I humbly ask you to delay that. Please send the book to the next poster who solves this puzzle provided that happens within a week since the puzzle was posted.
