Delightful book of logic puzzles mentioned by Martin Gardner in his Penrose Tiles to Trapdoor Ciphers and the Return of Dr. Matrix. I checked OpenLibrary.org (awesome resource!) and downloaded/borrowed a copy. Kept me company on a flight from Dalkas to New York while the guy behind never stopped

A delightful book of logical puzzles. And you get into some real depth by the time you reach Transylvania. I bought it for the boys so they could relive my childhood, but good for adults as well.
