Format:Paperback
Such a terrific reference work! But with so many terrific random digits, it's a shame they didn't sort them, to make it easier to find the one you're looking for.

Format:Paperback
If you like this book, I highly recommend that you read it in the original binary. As with most translations, conversion from binary to decimal frequently causes a loss of information and, unfortunately, it's the most significant digits that are lost in the conversion.

Format:Paperback
The book is a promising reference concept, but the execution is somewhat sloppy. Whatever generator they used was not fully tested. The bulk of each page seems random enough. However at the lower left and lower right of alternate pages, the number is found to increment directly.

This is a classic. It adds up to a perfect balance of realism and proto-existential thought.

Bah, a thousand monkeys on a thousand typewriters could have written a better book than this drivel. Although I will admit, I had no idea where the story was going next.
