5 stars for exhausting exhaustiveness, chutzpah, and immaterial mind stimulation.

This book is somewhat inaccurately described by tENT himself as a gathering/expansion of his first 9 books. I say inaccurately because though 7 of them might be previous books of his 2 are most definitely new books riffing on previous books.

This bk is a compendium & partial rewrite/expansion-of of my 1st 9 bks. If you like creativity that thinks outside the box but still fits in a bk, then this one's for you.
