"Another scintillating collection of brilliant problems and paradoxes by the most entertaining logician and set theorist who ever lived. As in all of Professor Smullyan's fantastic puzzle books, you end up exploring that strange subterranean region below mathematics, where Godelian corridors lead in all directions to beautiful theorems about truth and provability." -- Martin Gardner
And Other Logic Puzzles Including a Mathematical Novel That Features Godel's Great Discovery
"I believe Ray Smullyan to be the Lewis Carroll of our times. His little books of logic puzzles will be remembered long after most of us are forgotten. Here, he has tackled difficult material, suitable to the modern computing age, and presented it with good humor and a tingling sense of discovery."
Peter Denning, Professor of Computer Sciences, Purdue University
