Great book for kids about codes and ciphers, tells about different ciphers and how to use them, as well as how to solve ciphers.
• "Loads of Codes and Secret Ciphers" book by: Paul B. Janeczko. ISBN: 0-02-747810-6. Published and copyright 1984.
• Secret Warfare: the battle of codes and ciphers" book by: Bruce Norman. This was my first book on codes and ciphers. I don't have it with me while I'm writing this, so I don't have any more information like ISBN or Publish/Copyright date, but you should be able to get it from a public library (actually, at the time I'm writing this, all of the books on this list should be available from mast any public library). This is a great all-around code and cipher book, it tells about all kinds of ciphers and also tells how to solve ciphers step be step.
• "All Kinds of Codes" book by: Walt Babson. ISBN: 0-590-07427-X. Published and copyright 1976. Really a book about ciphers, the author explains the difference between Codes and Ciphers, and then goes on to say that the book uses the term "Code" to mean "Cipher" because "Code" is what most people are used to. Great book.
• "Secret Codes and Ciphers" book by: Bernice Kohn. Published and copyright 1968 and 1969.
