The hidden text of the email is as follows:

A quick jaunt to Amazon and a read-through of the novel's description gives you the following password to the Puzzle 2 forum:

Nevermind
...just asked my encyclopedia husband

Meh, now I don't want to hear ANY songs at the grocery store...bah humbug.

On the second puzzle:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Is number 2 The Black Adder? Can't seem to find anything else. I know the rest without looking...must have spent far too much time watching TV as a youth.

Can anyone help me with #25 in puzzle 1? I'm hitting a wall with that one, though I'm sure it's painfully obvious. Rolling Eyes

I know the 2nd one but I just can't remember the name. What I can remember is, it is when jack frost comes to earth because he really loves this girl and then there is this Zar tipe person with a metal puppet who rules the land.

I hope this helps

Thanks! I got it just before you wrote that. I've actually never even heard that song, if you can believe it. Laughing
