Endorsed by the National Association for Visually Handicapped (NAVH), this compendium of more than 700 cryptograms is accessible to puzzlers who love to flex their mental muscles and challenge their code-cracking abilities. Decode funny quips and clever comments by favorite celebrities and historical figures. Find out what Julia Roberts has to say about nude scenes; how Harry Truman distinguished between recession and depression; and get some marital advice from Shirley Maclaine. By untangling these mixed-up messages, you’ll uncover the wise, witty, and wonderful things said by a wide array of personalities, including Albert Einstein, Johnny Carson, Henri Matisse, and Marilyn Monroe.
