This book is full of errors! As previously stated, lack of editing is atrocious! If you enjoy cryptograms, do not purchase this one. I wrote the company that publishes this book and they responded,

"I have forwarded your email on to the author services rep that deals with this author.

Unfortunately all of our books are sold on a non-returnable basis. We are an on-demand publishing company and all of our titles are printed exactly as the author supplies them to us. The proof reading and editing process is the responsibility of each of our 5000 authors."

Never heard a thing back since then.

I love cryptograms! But I can't abide errors in them. Not only does this author break the rule that letters shouldn't stand for themselves, but there are actually several errors in these crytograms. I assume these are typographical and a sign of bad editing but it's no fun to work out cryptograms when you can't be sure they're correctly coded. On the positive side, the quotes are varied and fun and with some re-editing this would earn some more stars!
