Summary: One year after purchase, I keep opening this book
Review: All in all just a fascinating book on a fascinating topic. In general, the introductory parts of each chapter are accessible to anyone with a standard 12 year education. The mathematics are best understood by people with a background in algebra and statistics at the American High School level, but not much more. If you buy this book, expect John Ashcroft to put your name on a list of people buying dangerous published works (and with the Patriot Act in place, I am neither paranoid nor joking). The best chapter is the one about encoding information in ordered lists. This book taught me how to include a one line hidden message in a 50 item list of my favorite Country and Western Songs of all time (and THAT is a cool thing to do).

Summary: Excelent book
Review: I read the entire book from first to last page and enjoyed the content absolutely. The book has theory and practice, clear examples and many references to free and open source software to make tests. The math part has razonable level (not too much, not to little). I have no found anything better in the area.
Good for Peter Wayner!P.D. ...

Summary: You know you are a crypto geek when....
Review: This book is a great introduction to learning how to hide data in places most people wouldn't think about looking. Sample code and various URL's are provided for places to start, this not the easiest subject to grasp, but the book helps put it at a manageable level. A great place to start!...

Summary: A broad introduction to an important topic
Review: This book is filled with mathematical magic tricks that teach you how to disguise information and make it look like something else. The tricks in this book are simple and provide a good understanding about why even numbers aren't what they seem to be. This is the broadest description of steganography and watermarking around.

Summary: Cool, deep, although a bit goofy
Review: This is a deep, serious book about making information transmogrify, even if there are a few silly parts. I liked the funny parts and they reminded me of Goedel Escher and Bach
