	The following is a list of books which have been suggested as
being good for beginners:

	Cryptography & Data Security
	by Dorothy E. Denning
	500p, 1982, $ 39.95, ISBN 0-201-10150-5, Addison-Wesley

	Cryptography: A New Dimension in Computer Data Security - A Guide
		for the Design and Implementation of Secure Systems
	by Carl H. Meyer and Stephen M. Matyas
	ISBN 0-471-04892-5

	I looked through the book by Denning and was very pleased - so
much so that I bought a copy.  I haven't seen the other one.

	Thanks for the information.  I received far more letters requesting
information than offering it, so if your favorite book isn't on the list,
a number of people would like to hear about it.
