This has been purchased as a gift for my husband. We recently visited Bletchley Park and found the visit to be fascinating. This book is an excellent reminder of the visit as it is full of all the information we saw. The inserted leaflets at the back of the book are an added bonus.
The book is very well made, with excellent photographs.
This book is an ideal gift to purchase for anyone with an interest in the code breaking history.

This well packaged book is a must for all those who have not only an interest in World War 2, but who have visited Bletchley, seen the buildings and exhibits and have realised how crucial the work done here by Alan Turing and many others was to ending the war. Visiting Bletchley leaves a lasting impression & this book captures that in its colourful and informative pages. Copies of original documents add to the respect the work done by Bletchley commands in an age of basic technology. Fascinating!

The package came in a cardboard sleeve that should have been sealed at both ends. It was not sealed at all, and all the contents fell out.
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your order was packaged incorrectly. We have passed your feedback to our warehouse team. Our customer service team has been in touch. Kind regards, Alice.

The book was bought as a Christmas present for my son ,but the reason for4 stars is the outer packaging was not enough so there was some slight damage to one edge of the outer sleeve of the book .
