Dated but very good
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Just got a used copy of this. As to the use of PGP, it is dated. As to the history of PGP and crypto, it is a great book. I found it very valuable, in 2004.
Told me what I needed to know.

This book is written by the author and quite frankly is his way of paying himself back for his hard work. Bottom line is if this documentation came with the program, we wouldn't need to buy the book. The bulk of the useful stuff takes up one third of the book. The rest is historical crao that I cared less about. Anyway, thanks to the book, I could get PGP up and running on an MVS and NT server.
