About This Item
Trying to prove someone else 'wrote' Shakespeare has become fairly commonplace. Lifelong cryptologists the Friedmans decided to give these theories a fair hearing, by focusing on objectively investigating cipher systems. The Friedmans document the history and foundations of such theories, before thoroughly examining and critiquing a great number of them. A rigorous and fascinating work.
An excellent copy. Pages are clean, bright and unmarked with no spots, fading or creases, and just some minor ageing on the top edges. Cloth boards are tight and clean. DJ unclipped, and is in first class condition with the most minor wear at the top spine and a little rubbing on the back. All now protected in professional clear removable book wrapper. 303pp with extensive index and many B&W illustrations
