More Mathematical Puzzles of Sam Loyd Paperback – November 2, 2011

Very interesting puzzles

Actually I'm a big fan from the good old days. Mathematical puzzles? My Big Old love.Here we have 2 of the 3 or 4 absolute giants of the matter (put Raymond Smullyan in). Their father of them all : Sam LOYD, and, and one of the modern poetical leaders: Martin GARDNER for the selection and the edition.This compilation of the best Classical Puzzles imagined by Sam LOYD has been published several times before, and each publication brings up the same sentiment, the one you have when you meet back a good old friend. That's what happens when you fall in love with a book, and develop sweet warm memories with it.The format is 1 puzzle by page, presented each and every time by a smart story and illustrated by the drawing of the original edition, a very beautiful vintage look. I love it.There are some 200 puzzles divided into 2 volumes, they range from somehow easy to really difficult, and some of them require some basic knowledge in algebra and/or geometry, just the basic, and not all of them.This edition is a simple paperback one, nothing fancy, in my opinion any paperback binding doesn't do justice to this book, but it's the only one available I think.Me? I bought again!
