On reading the first book, I had assumed the code was just decoration 
, but as you say, the second is much easier to break. I must unearth the first book again and decode it, ready for the arrival of the third.

Madly enough, I actually started to try breakng the code by comparing the spine of the hardback book to that of the dust-jacket - all before I actually started reading the book. And so it was only later that I found the he actually gives a translation of a section of Gnommish script into English in the course of the story.

Has anyone tried the Lord of the rings writing? I translated the dust cover of the Hobbit starting from only FOUR letters. N,S,E,W.

If I remember correctly (and I offer no gaurentees of this) the opening page gives you 'The Hobbit or There and Back Again' in English and Dwarf script. Which make for an easy translation.
And he actually gives a full symbol to letter chart in the appendices of LOTR, doesn't he?

Shh, you'll blow my cover. All right, I used the hobbit and there and back again as well.
