NOTE: these are all original issues, NOT the reprints done by Aegean Press.
This intelligence periodical is not often found on the market, with owners tending to hold onto them. The journal has changed publishers several times, most recently (2006) by Taylor and Francis who offers the journal digitally (at 50/article, and >100/issue). This collection offered here at 1/3 of digital pricing for those who still love the feel of paper and the ability to make notes, insert clippings, and even (gasp) turn corners.
Cryptologia focuses on the mathematical and computer related aspects of cryptography, but also includes original refereed well documented articles on historical topics of cryptanalysis. "Cryptologia's approach is strictly professional. There is no editorializing about the politics of cryptology or intelligence, in fact there are no editorials. It is the premier source in its field and is recommended for all those seriously interested in SIGINT history and cryptology" (Peake, The Reader's Guide to Intelligence Periodicals", pp 39-42).
