644pp., xxii. '1' present in number line. "Notes, References, Hints and Some Answers" (with page references), pp. 519-638; Index, pp. 639-644. Orange wrappers with front cover tinted photo-illustration of spiral staircase with balusters as background for title and author names lettering in white superimposed at top and bottom front cover, respectively; two pages dog-eared (now flat); very small curls at corners: understandable with such a large, wider-than-tall book; spine still very strong, NOT cracked or weakened (again, unusual for such an artifact); faint diagonal bending across top left rear cover, echoing for only a few pages toward center of book (NOT a full crease, folded); previous owner name discreetly printed at top right ffep/half-title page: truthful descriptions make book seem less good than it is: very good artifact, still loaded with dazzle of authors and their excellent humor throughout. Good book for refreshing one's logic past or for taking up boldly the virtues of critical reasoning at one's own pace. All Smith College students should have been/should be required to study this text--not to mention the rest of us.…

As the book alternately discusses, instructs, questions, teases, and challenges, readers will find themselves absorbing the fundamentals of the discipline; becoming fluent in the language of logic; understanding how logic works in the real world; and enjoying logic's ability to entertain, surprise, subvert, and enlighten.

Shipping terms
All domestic orders will be sent by USPS Media Mail, unless some other mode of shipping is requested or required and accepted in advance of shipping. International orders will be sent by USPS International Flat-Rate Priority envelope or box, unless the current weight and size restrictions cannot be met [e.g.: (1) the item is too large to fit the International Flat-Rate envelope or box or (2) the item weighs over 4 lbs. or (3) insurance is requested or required (e.g., the book is worth $40.00 or more)--in each such case, the item will be sent, only if the given destination country allows for it, by signing for the item.] All books sent by USPS Flat-Rate unpadded envelope (or padded envelope, moreover) will be wrapped in paper and packed between cardboard sheets larger than the book or with cardboard affixed at the corners, in order to prevent damage to the book during shipment. Books sent in boxes will also be wrapped in paper and suitably packed to avoid movement in box. The goal here is to ship essentially at cost, rather than to reap additional profit beyond the cost of shipping, thus keeping the customer's cost for shipping as low as possible.
