Collected here in one volume are some thirty-six high quality translations into English of the most important foreign-language works in mathematical logic, as well as articles and letters by Whitehead, Russell, Norbert Weiner and PostThis book is, in effect, the record of an important chapter in the history of thought. No serious student of logic or foundations of mathematics will want to be without it.-Review of MetaphysicsAn invaluable work of reference and study. The selection of contents could hardly be bettered; those of the papers which were not originally in English have been admirably translated; and the editing of the book is impeccable in every way.-New ScientistThis is an excellent selection of classical contributions to symbolic logic. The bringing together in English of so many important papers is in itself a major contribution this book will long remain a standard work, essential to the study of symbolic logic.-Library Journal

The perfect math-logic reference,
This review is from: From Frege to Gödel: A Source Book in Mathematical Logic, 1879-1931 (Source Books in the History of the Sciences) (Paperback)
This book seems to me an absolute standard for those interested in present day logic and mathematics. Even if understanding the content of the papers is somewhat out of your grasp (as it is for me!), van Heijenoort assists by presenting many fantastic introductory pages.Interestingly, this tome was also the first (only?) place to publish Russell's letter to Frege (re: Russell's Paradox) and Frege's response.

This review is from: From Frege to Gödel: A Source Book in Mathematical Logic, 1879-1931 (Source Books in the History of the Sciences) (Paperback)
In response to Jay Miller's question below there is a book titled "Philosophical and Mathematical Correspondence. Gottlob Frege" that has 21 letters between Russell and Frege over a period of 10 years beginning with Russell's observation of his famous paradox in 1902. This wonderful collection of correspondence was published 20 years before "From Frege to Godel" and includes letters from many of the same mathematicians and logicians.
