I loved this book so much as a kid and really enjoyed reading it again as an adult too.

Lots are jokes. Organization is poor, as the book starts by tricking the reader unfairly, and only later teaches about the different kinds of riddles. Worth reading if you find a copy handy, as I did in a Little Free Library, but not worth buying. Btw, I was surprised to see the extensive notes and bibliography... like a scholarly book!

Notes:
awesome brainteaser book
loaded with riddles that are smart -- not joke-type riddles
the only problem is the solutions are too easy to "accidentally" look at
