Summary: Aegean Park Press (Laguna Hills, CA)

Well, many of Friedman's works ARE available, it would seem (see list below).
There is a small specialty press called Aegean Park Press which handles them.
I ran into them because they are the only source these days for Berlekamp's
"Algebraic Coding Theory" (I was looking for info on Reed-Solomon codes, but
that's another story). Sometime after my purchase, they sent me a followup
flyer which contained lists of books in several lines: the Cryptographic
Series; the Intelligence Series; and Miscellaneous. (Berlekamp's book was
in "Misc.") Besides the basic price list, they also had blurbs for the four
"Military Cryptanalytics" texts, pointing out that these have been
declassified since their original publication in the 1950's.

In the Cryptographic Series, they have some 47 titles, including:

	C-3 "Elements of Cryptanalysis", William F. Friedman
	C-5 "Cryptography and Cryptanalysis Articles: V.1", William F. Friedman
	C-6 "Cryptography and Cryptanalysis Articles: V.2", William F. Friedman
	C-7 "Elementary Military Cryptography", William F. Friedman
	C-8 "Advanced Military Cryptography", William F. Friedman
	C-11 "Solving German Codes in World War I", William F. Friedman
	C-12 "History of the Use of Codes", William F. Friedman
	C-13 "The Zimmerman Telegram of 1917", Friedman & Mendolson
	C-30 "Military Cryptanalysis: Part I", William F. Friedman
	C-40 "Military Cryptanalysis: Part II", William F. Friedman
	C-42 "Military Cryptanalytics: Part I, Vol 1", Friedman & Callimahos
	C-43 "Military Cryptanalytics: Part I, Vol 2", Friedman & Callimahos
	C-44 "Military Cryptanalytics: Part II, Vol 1", Callimahos & Friedman
	C-45 "Military Cryptanalytics: Part II, Vol 2", Callimahos & Friedman

They also have many other titles which look intriguing, such as:

	C-1 "Manual for the Solution of Military Ciphers", Parker Hitt
	C-17 "Cryptanalysis of the Haeglin Cryptograph", Wayne G Barker
	C-19 "Course in Cryptography", Gen. Marcel Giverge
	C-28 "Manual of Cryptography", British War Office
	C-33 "Course in Cryptanalysis: Vol 1", British War Office
	C-33 "Course in Cryptanalysis: Vol 2", British War Office
	C-35 "The Origin and Development of the National Security Agency",
	      George A. Brownell
	
There are several other titles by Barker (same guy as "Barker Codes"???).

The Intelligence Series seems more history oriented: "The History of
the CIA", "Intell. & Crypt. Activities of the Brit. Navy in WW-I",
"Intell. & Crypt. Activities of the Japanese during WW-II", etc.

Miscellaneous includes: "Cryptologia" (1977) [issues 1 & 4], "Cryptologia"
(1978) [all 4 issues], and some shift-register, coding, and spread-spectrum
stuff (incl. "Alg. Coding Th.").

These are available "library bound" ($20-$50) or in "soft cover" ($15-$40).
I use quotes because the "soft cover" often have stiff, though not library,
covers. Their address:
