Good for beginner to intermediate solver

I just purchased this book and am enjoying it. The type is slightly small as far as giving room to write, but otherwise I found it to be reasonably challenging for me at my current skill level
Fairly Challenging - Good for Beginners

All of the cryptograms in this collection (400 to be exact) are quotes from a wide assortment of famous personalities from Winston Churchill to Mick Jagger. For those experienced in cryptograms, this collection won't be terribly challenging, but it will be a good introduction for beginners. If any puzzles prove too tricky, Nash offers not one, but two clues each in the back of the book. (Of course the answers are there too, but don't cheat!) A few challenging puzzles, but most are moderate or easy. Again, a nice place to start if you are new to cryptograms.
This is a good book.

I don't do cryptograms, but my wife does. She received this book as a Christmas present, and she seems to enjoy it. She works a cryptogram from the book almost every evening.
