There's also a pack: http://www.amazon.com/Schneiers-Cryptography-Classics-Library-Practical/dp/0470226269/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208642482&sr=8-2

I've heard good things about these, but I haven't read them personally.

I love the Wikipedia for the wealth of (free) technical information it holds:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptography
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topics_in_cryptography
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cryptography

"Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems"
Has some good Cryptography chapters. The author, Ross Anderson, also distributes it freely in PDF format from his web site.
