Impromptu by Martin Gardner

Martin Gardner's Impromptu is one of the most beautiful books I have ever encountered. The wonderful content is set forth on a magnificent stage. The design, layout, binding, fabulous cover, and spectacular use of color set a high mark that is not likely to be surpassed for a very long time, if ever. What a glorious tribute to Martin. It is a joy to page through the book, but it is laden with so much interesting content that it will take a long time to get to the end. I am so impressed with the book that there is a danger that I will run out of superlatives when describing it to others
