For those who don't know what the Voynich Manuscript is, this article was on HN a while back (http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2013/07/the-unre...) and you can view the whole thing online (http://brbl-dl.library.yale.edu/vufind/Record/3519597).

Definitely more intriguing than this book, imho.
