Are you looking for technical or non-technical books?

Bruce Schneier is one of the better authors on this subject. For a
non-technical introduction to some of the issues related to
cryptography, I liked his book "Secrets and Lies" (which is now
available in paperback). For a more technical introduction, there's
his book "Applied Cryptography", which is more along the lines of a
college textbook and will require some good math background.

Hope this helps.
