Minor nitpick: I think her name is Elizebeth (with an e), not Elizabeth (with an a).

Cheers,

Stephan

I got both the dead tree edition and the audiobook; I've been listening to the audiobook on my commute and am about 2/3 the way through it. 

It's a fantastic book, a fantastic story, and everyone who's interested in the history of crypto should read or listen to it.
