Errors of the Amanuensis or The Calumny of the Secretary: a binary tale

Errors of the Amanuensis: or the Calumny of the Secretary is a story about an impertinent secretary using simple text and binary code. Each page includes a ‘big word’ that is slightly familiar but which most of us could not exactly define. That word, in CAPS, is illustrated by its translation into binary code. Tucked into the back cover is a spoof of the ‘For Dummies’ series of books for decoding the message.
