Are you talking about "The Puzzle Palace," or about "Applied Cryptography"?

I thought the thread was about "The Puzzle Palace." It's certainly possible
that Bruce Schneier has contributed to a second edition, beyond the
Foreward or whatever it is, but your comments fit with "Applied
Cryptography" closely, too.

Have you seen a copy of "The Puzzle Palace," 2nd Ed.?

My apologies, I was referring to "Applied Cryptography".

I wrote to Bruce Schneier about this a month or so ago.  He said that he'd
gotten the information about the new edition of "The Puzzle Palace" from
the authors, and that while the reference in "Applied Cryptography" gave
it a 1995 copyright, it actually won't be out until sometime in 1996.
