Synopsis
'Martin Gardner is an amateur magician, but, putting in the shade all his sleight-of-hand, is the magic whereby he can take any mathematical subject and make it impossible for me to stop reading till he stops writing- whether I know anything about the subject to begin with or not. And when he does stop, I complain. In WHEELS, the prestidigistating master is better than ever.' -Isaac Asimov

    Typically bungling performance from Evri (Hermes): the package was said to be ‘out for delivery’ on 2 September, but it did not arrive until 8 September, after I had expended much effort in trying to find out what had happened to it. In contrast, top marks for the seller: accurate description, excellent packaging, prompt transport from USA (until Evri got its hands on the package), and good-natured support when I explained the problems I was having with the notoriously inefficient delivery firm.

    Shipping was insanely fast! Packaging super tough! Came as described and beyond the value. One of my new favorite additions to my books.
