(* Hal Abelson of MIT says there are possible export problems with the MIT Press book on PGP, and MIT dropped plans for a version in a special OCR font. So, I agree that _some_ books cross the line and look like pure software. However, I continue to maintain that a badly-printed barcode is just a joke, nothing more.)
Brian LaMacchia sent me e-mail saying the MIT book _was_ published with the OCR font as originally planned. No response to their CJR request, submitted in Jan or Feb. [Blatant plug for MIT Press...] For reference, the title of the book is "PGP: Source Code and Internals", ISBN 0-262-24039-4, hardcover, $60.00. There are links to the MIT Press pages from my keyserver home page (http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/keyserver.html), or you can go to MIT Press's site (http://www-mitpress.mit.edu/) and look under Books/Computer Science. Orders accepted over the net using either HTML forms (SSL) or e-mail (PGP). MIT Press is also selling "MIT PGP" T-Shirts, but I don't have pricing or size information on them yet. They have the logo from the book cover on the front & back. Front says "Mind your own business," back has a copy of MIT Press's PGP public key (in ASCII-armored form). --bal
