Notes
"From penny puzzles, card shuffles, and tricks of lightning calculators to roller coaster rides into the fourth dimension: a round-up of tantalizers from Scientific American, with a foreword by John Horton Conway and elegant mathematical commentaries, afterthoughts, a new postscript, and a new bibliography by Mr. Gardner, backtalk from readers, and 115 pictures and diagrams."
