Also, Applied Cryptography includes a ton of totally obsolete stuff, which tptacek has complained is still leading people astray by giving them seemingly attractive choices that are in fact broken or deprecated. Even at the time, with its focus on breadth of coverage, it presented technology which wouldn't have been a state-of-the-art choice, while today many techniques there are even less appropriate (and some good new crypto has been invented in the interim).
Applied Cryptography was an important political statement that we can and should have access to cryptographic technology, but I don't think it can be recommended as an appropriate introduction to the field in 2017.
