it's an incredible book that I happened across in high school while looking for more Martin Gardner type stuff. Definitely part of what fueled a desire to be a math major at uni.

I immediately wanted to put a computer to work extending some of the research described therein; instead I settled for buying and building a couple of the simpler burrs, but 30 years on they're still prized possessions.

(The author is still with us at 95! That's a lovely thing to know.)
