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.

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.

Once again, I asked for the German version.
I was told to bugger off and use the original version, would be suitable for Europe as well. Read more

First I was angry, then I was ecstatic!
I have 2 perspectives on this book:
1) The story is derivative and uninspired. The story either repeats itself or just mixes up the previous chapters. Not cool! Read more
