5.0 out of 5 stars One of my Favorite Cryptogram Books, April 6, 2006
This review is from: The Great Book of Cryptograms (Paperback)
I have been doing cryptogram puzzles for quite a few years now, and there's nothing like the feeling of "breaking the code", and finding the hidden message lying within what appears to be just an unintelligible jumble of letters.

One of the things I really like about "The Great Book of Cryptograms" is that the puzzles, once solved, provide you with a meaningful, thought-provoking quote - and each "chapter" is filled with quotes from the same person (such as Aristotle & Aesop).

Because the author provides a thorough set of instructions re: how to go about solving this type of puzzle, this book is perfect for the novice and pro alike.

If you like cryptograms, or just enjoy trying to break codes, I highly recommend "The Great Book of Cryptograms" - it's one of the best I've seen.
