Amazon.com "thinks cryptography is a good thing." With that in mind they´re offering signed copies of Cryptonimicon, Applied Cryptography, The Code Book, and Between Silk and Cyanide. In addition they´ll be giving away a Lego Mindstorms set. You can get the prizes by solving a crypto puzzle they´ve put on their site.
"Intelligence operatives, savvy hackers, algorithm agents, programming personnel, smart civilians" are asked to enter the contest which expires on October 29th. The crypto text is as follows:
