[mw2600] Puzzle Book

[Elonka@aol.com]

Hi all.  :)

I have been contacted by a British book publisher, who wants me to put 
together a book of codes and ciphers for release in the U.S. and U.K.  This is not 
so much a book *about* codes, as a book *full* of codes to solve, ranging from 
easy to hard.  It will also have a few pages on "solving tips", and of course 
a description of some of the famous Unsolved Codes in the world, including 
Kryptos.

Unsolved codes aside though, I'd especially like the book to have a couple 
thousand very simple ciphers to solve.  Like Presidential (and Prime Minister!) 
quotes that have been encrypted using a simple substitution cipher.

The deadline on this is fairly short -- I'd like to have everything collated 
by the end of this month, so that the publisher can meet a publishing deadline 
that they've set -- they'd like to have the book out in time for the release 
of a particular movie next year.

Is there anyone that would like to help with this project?  I could use 
assistance in everything from coming up with the plaintext quotes and passages to 
encrypt, to encrypting those quotes, and of course testing things to make sure 
that everything's done correctly!

Credit would of course be given in the book to everyone that helps, so it'd 
also be a fun way to see your name in print!

If you are interested in helping, either creating codes or helping to test 
them, please contact me off-list, at elonka at aol.com.

Thanks!

Elonka  :)
