Geocache Description:


In this puzzle, your mission is to recognize the names of the books (most are quite famous), and convert them into digits. 

Posted coordinates are not of final location, they were chosen due to their connection with the theme - corner of Shalom Aleichem St (Jewish author) and Mendele Mokher Sfarim (literally meaning bookseller, also a Jewish author)

This place is also nearby what used to be my grandparents house, and in front of my family's school, Nordau.

Final location is in a garden.

The puzzle:

A = Published in 1889, about a holiday on a boat on the river Thames in England.

BC = World War II satire, presenting a paradox - in order to escape a flying mission one needs to be crazy but if you apply to be excused this means you are not crazy.

DEF = A novel by a colombian author, about a family over many many years, who founded the town Macondo.

GHI = A dystopia by science fiction pioneer author, where firemen burn books

JK = One of the best selling books of all time, the original title of Agatha Christie's masterpiece where a group of people die one by one on an island until no one is left. At first the title was offensive towards a certain race, and the edition in America was offensive towards another race, so it was re-named, and today the title name is different.

LM = An adventure by Jules Verne which starts in London and ends in London.
