Codes & Ciphers
Usborne Publishing
· 1992
· Paperback
A puzzle-book built entirely around coded messages: readers follow a story of five adventurers and must decipher each code in turn to keep the plot moving, working through substitution, transposition and other basic cipher types along the way.
It was published as the \"Advanced Level\" volume in Usborne's Superpuzzles series, sitting alongside the series' map, maze and logic-puzzle titles; a solutions section at the back lets readers check their answers. Later printings were distributed in North America through EDC Publishing, Usborne's US partner.

Notes
Part of the Usborne Superpuzzles series, designated "Advanced Level" on the cover (a series/level marker, not a subtitle). AbeBooks and OpenLibrary both list the publisher of the 1995 paperback printing (ISBN 9780746006757) as "EDC Publishing," the North American distributor for Usborne; Goodreads attributes the same printing to Usborne Publishing Ltd, and the ISBN itself carries Usborne's own 0746 prefix, so this record follows Usborne as publisher of record. A separate library-binding edition, ISBN 9780881105261, was issued in the US by EDC Publishing under its own prefix.
