Logic Puzzle Books by Raymond Smullyan

Book Review, © Copyright 2003, Jim Loy

Raymond Smullyan is a Mathematics professor and a magician, and he has an amazing gift for restating classic and original logic puzzles into amusing parables. Any book by Smullyan is a classic. Also see my review Gödel, Escher, Bach - by Douglas R. Hofstadter and Forever Undecided - by Raymond Smullyan.
