Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Many of these puzzles are entirely original; others have been treated in as original a way as possible, including domino puzzles, noughts and crosses, puzzles in mechanics, etc. Puzzle fans will not only enjoy mastering the puzzles, they’ll find their ability to solve mathematical problems increasing. "...exceptionally good value."—Jrnl. of Recreational Math.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the standard references of recreational maths., February 16, 2002

By	anon2001 "anon2001" (Kinross, Western Australia AUSTRALIA) - See all my reviews

I can't believe no one has already added a review of
this well-known and frequently referenced book. Perhaps
none was necessary as it is so widely known. The "Master
book" is often cited by other authors - Gardiner,
Berlekamp-Conway-Guy, etc. This book belongs in any
serious recreational mathematician's reference library
along with "Mathematical Recreations and Essays", "Winning
Ways", "Amusements in Mathematics". It is published by
Dover and is a high quality republication of a classic
at a very low price. Top value for money.
