However, there does appear to be a 1993 edition of the book. Perhaps this is what Mr. Schneier was referencing? I happened to be at Borders bookstore in Austin this afternoon and checked. They don't have it but will special order it.

Applied Cryptography references a 2nd edition of The Puzzle Palace by Bamford and Madsen, 1995, but I can't seem to find it in any of the bookstores in Austin. Has it been published? Thanks,
Read Ernest Hua's message from yesterday about this. He quoted an EE Times article which said, in part:
No, I doubt this is what folks are referring to when they talk about the forthcoming "Second Edition." I bought the 1982 hardback of Bamford, in 1982 (even before I really knew crypto issues were of such interest to me...quite possibly reading Bamford helped prepare me). A paperback edition came out a year or two later, with some added material. But it was--so far as I know--still the First Edition. The long-awaited Second Edition will be a major rewrite, as noted in the various comments over the past couple of years. --Tim May "The government announcement is disastrous," said Jim Bidzos,.."We warned IBM that the National Security Agency would try to twist their technology."
