Gary Rasmussen (RagyR@aol.com) replies to me as below:
Have people got a view on the second question ? I've had no contact with Gary before and he may very well be honest; but there's proper trust and there's stupidity.
Hi Peter,
I'm looking for Kahn's book. Have you an acccurate price now?
A lot of copies (about 100) have been sold since ....
(And is there anyone I'd know who'd suggest I send you money ?!)
Good question, but very hard to answer since I don't know who you know. Can tell you that I operate Classical Crypto Books primarily as a service for other members of the ACA. Two possible references are the current and past ACA presidents:
jimg@mentat.com (Jim Gillogly, ACA President 1996-1998) 75542.1003@CompuServe.COM (Randy Nichols, ACA President 1994-1996)
Operating CCB is not my main occupation (by day I'm a scientist working for MIT's Lincoln Lab). Can also say proudly that in 1.5 years of operating CCB I haven't had any complaints.
Please let me know if you have other questions or would like a complete copy of the CCB catalog.
Best Wishes, Gary Rasmussen Classical Crypto Books
