All of these titles (and many more like them) are available
from Classical Crypto Books. At present, almost every crypto
title published by Aegean Park Press is in stock, with the
notable exception of Friedman's Six Lectures which may still
be available for free from the NSA's Center for Cryptologic History.
If and when it is no longer available from the NSA, I'll add it to
the CCB inventory. All CCB items are discounted for members
of the American Cryptogram Association, the Naval Cryptologic
Veteran's Association, and full-time students. For a free catalog
by return email, or for information about membership in the
American Cryptogram Association, please send email to
