Elonka Dunin takes you into the world of mystery codes thru stages, with each page devoted to a single code, plus code word then graduates to higher levels. About 570 pages plus 25 pages of reference material and definitions. Interesting reading. Starts slowly and builds, also includes a refererence to the "Kryptos", the code in front of the CIA building designed to test the blossoming code breaker. As of this writing, it hasn't been decoded(solved). But then maybe the people who solved it just aren't talking...
