Quotable Cryptograms includes explanations of the types of cryptograms presented (and how to solve them) as well as puzzles, hints, and an answer key.

From the Author

We are very proud of our book, "Quotable Cryptograms." We think it is one of the best cryptogram books on the market today. That said, we also have to agree with the many complaints here that the text is too small and not enough space is allowed on the pages to effectively solve the puzzles. While this does not take away from the quality of the puzzles, it does make it more difficult for those who like larger print.

This was not our intention when we were writing the book, and we apologize to the cryptogram audience. In fact, we were told originally that the book and the print were going to be much larger than what it is now. We insisted repeatedly that we needed a large page size, bigger type, and ample whitespace. We were assured everything would be as we requested. We were never given an explanation as to why they released the version they did. But they did admit they were wrong and because of this, the publisher has agreed to give us the complete rights back. We are now in the process of revising a second edition that will be what we wanted originally. --Terry Stickels and Sam Bellotto Jr.
