Reviews

[Robert Marmorstein · Rating 2 out of 5]

Rather boring and disorganized

This book contains a few interesting facts, but most of it is very dated reference tables listing the words used for each number in different cultures. This could be useful if it were organized better, but it is very unstructured and repetitive.

It's an anachronism to call a book this old "racist". Still, it was damn racist. I couldn't get past the 2nd or 3rd chapter. It was pretty bad.

Who counts with the joint of their fingers? This is the book that will reveal the answer.
