Book Reviews of Cryptanalysis: A Study of Ciphers and Their Solution

Book Review: A good but dated review
Summary: 3 Stars

A good book that reviews methods for pen-and-paper solution of simple substitution and transposition ciphers. Dating from before World War II, the main interest here is historical. Nevertheless, it is quite well written and enjoyable, with many examples to solve (most solutions included, but there are a few unsolved ciphertexts).
