You should be whitelisted by now; some of those DNSBLs are a bit 
trigger-happy, and I try and respond right away.

Forgot to mention the publisher: Allen and Unwin.  I normally buy online, 
but a colleague gave me this copy and refused payment ($US24.95).

No, I have nothing to do with the book etc...

Truly a good read!  For example, it was an intercept station in the 
Queensland bush that brought about Yamamoto's demise.  They knew exactly 
where and when he would be (he was a stickler for that), and a squadron of 
P-29s -- practically at the end of their range -- just happened to be in 
the vicinity...  (I think I read that in some other crypto book.)
