I tried e-mail but the message is bouncing around like a
kangaroo on certain controlled substances. The following is
a list of bookstores dealing, more or less specifically with
espionage and intelligence and include some coverage of
crypto. My recommendation for the first title would be
to try Elm. If you contact C&D, ELM, or NIBC, mentioning
my name _might_ help.
