This is a beautiful book. The pictures keep the reader engaged in a
colourful mathematical journey. It is written in an engaging style
suitable for over 11’s but also contains ideas that are likely to
interest most adults (without the need for a refresher course,
since the book does a good job of being self-contained). [...]
Although a mathematician would likely be aware of many of the
concepts the book presents, I would still recommend it both as a
tool to intrigue others (it makes a great ‘coffee table’ book) and
also since it contains many imaginative explanations and original
arguments. The illustrations and narrative keep the reader
entertained and make the book hard to put down." - London

"This is a lovely book… Although a certain affinity with
mathematical reasoning is needed the book can be read by almost
anyone." - Teun Koetsier, Zentralblatt Math
