![]() Cracking Codes and Cryptograms For Dummies (For Dummies (Sports & Hobbies)) $9.99 Having read "Cracking Codes and Cryptograms for Dummies" I believe that the book has a great deal of historic information. It also gives a lot of general information on how ciphers are made and used from when to now. The book also has a large amount of practice ciphers to help with understanding. I found the book to be extremely enlightening and would recommend it for anyone interested in cryptology. ![]() Humorous Cryptograms $7.95 I've been very impressed with this book. I don't find the quotes knee-slappingly hilarious but they're amusing enough. I like the way the book is set up, where they give you hints in one section and the answers in another. There's also plenty of space to solve the cryptograms without squishing your writing together. ![]() Clever Cryptograms $6.95 I just began doing cryptograms again - after about a year-long hiatus - and I have to say that I had forgotten just how fun & frustrating decoding cryptograms could be! "Clever Cryptograms" is filled with puzzles that, when solved, provide the reader with a quote that is either inspirational &/or thought provoking - food for both the mind & spirit. Each "chapter" focuses on the quotes of one specific person, including: St. Thomas Aquinas, Pearl Buck, Rene Descartes, Albert Einstein, and many, many, more. The only reason I gave this book 4 starts instead of 5 is because there are no hints - so, if you get stuck, you have to go the full solution and, at least for me, my eyes wind up wandering and I tend to see a lot more of the solution than I wanted... Overall, I think this is a fun cryptogram book, filled with much food for thought. So, if you can live without the hints, I'd recommend that you give it a try. ![]() Cryptograms to Keep You Sharp $7.95 I have thoroughly enjoyed this book........sure wish there was a series..love the spiral bound......plenty of space to write your letters. Most of them are pretty easy (which suits me fine)!! Just sorry I am at puzzle 354 and the book ends at 368! If you want to, there is a 'cheat sheet' to get a start but most of the puzzles don't need any of that.........yes, some of the puzzles are silly.........but who cares????? If you love cryptos like I do, you will enjoy this book! |
