Print-decorated Boards. Very Fine/Fine. First. Hardback. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ISBN:0-684-86998-5. 192 pages; 10 p. index; From the authors' Introduction: "This is a book about clever people finding ingenious ways to communicate. From card cheats to battlefield commanders to turncoat spies; from authors to engineers to weathermen in Washington, D.C.--they all had one thing in common. With unparalleled cunning, they used words, letters, colors, symbols, actions, phraseology, positions, objects--even smoke, light, and chiseled stone--to send or receive messages that they and their confederates alone understood.".
