Here is a kind review of Voynich Reconsidered by Richard SantaColoma, creator of the voynich.net forum:

“In his book, author Edwards brilliantly and patiently dissects many of the previous attempts at plumbing the secrets of the mysterious Voynich Manuscript. These stories read like a literary detective novel, and are interesting in their own right.

But by offering insights into the wide range of possible methods for tackling this most enigmatic problem, and detailing both their failures and possible achievements, it will help the next wave of hopefuls attempting to solve it. They will not need to reinvent the wheel, nor repeat old mistakes, and so will have a much better chance of avoiding previous pitfalls and failures.

Voynich Reconsidered would be a valuable asset to anyone’s literary history, cipher, or Voynich Manuscript Library”.
