Only if you have a pressing and immediate need for a doorstop, or need
special help solving the "Cryptoquotes" in your local paper.

Based on my inspection of a copy at a local bookstore, it's utter and
complete rubbish.  Spend the extra thirty bucks and get a copy of Bruce
Schneier's book _Applied Cryptography_ instead.
