Bookcrossing review from 2008
I can't say I've read it all: it is the sort of silly number-crunching I love, but not the sort to do huge amounts of at one time. As a book to read it is entertaining but repetitive. As a book to sit by my work computer and be a source of silly questions for colleagues and students it would be great, so I guess I'm going to have to stop holding this ring up and add it to wish-list 2.
Addendum Jan 2012
I did, and now have a copy of my very own.

Good fun, but I'm not sure I really learned anything from this...it was like being able to switch my brain off in front of an entertaining sit-com
