This work has an entertaining menagerie of over 200 mind-bending logical puzzlers, riddles, and diversions that challenge reasoning powers and common sense. Contents consist of four parts, sixteen chapters, 241 pages. There is a small area at the top of the spine (part of the letter M in the author's last name) that apparently a sticker was removed and now part of the M is missing. Some wear at the head and tail of the spine and at corners. The book was printed on poor quality paper and has some limited age toning in places. However, it is fully readable. Available for immediate shipment, carefully packed.

About the Author
Raymond Smullyan (1919–2017), mathematician, logician, magician, creator of extraordinary puzzles, philosopher, pianist, and man of many parts. The first Dover book by Raymond Smullyan was First-Order Logic (1995). Recent years have brought a number of his magical books of logic and math puzzles: The Lady or the Tiger (2009); Satan, Cantor and Infinity (2009); an original, never-before-published collection, King Arthur in Search of His Dog and Other Curious Puzzles (2010); and Set Theory and the Continuum Problem (with Melvin Fitting, also reprinted by Dover in 2010). More will be coming in subsequent years.
In the Author's Own Words:
"Recently, someone asked me if I believed in astrology. He seemed somewhat puzzled when I explained that the reason I don't is that I'm a Gemini."
"Some people are always critical of vague statements. I tend rather to be critical of precise statements: they are the only ones which can correctly be labeled 'wrong.'" — Raymond Smullyan
Critical Acclaim for The Lady or the Tiger:
"Another scintillating collection of brilliant problems and paradoxes by the most entertaining logician and set theorist who ever lived." — Martin Gardner
