This Book Needs No Title: A Budget of Living Paradoxes
I was very pleased with this particular purchase. The book arrived in great condition, and was exactly as described in terms of content. The main reason I bought it is because it was written by Raymond Smullyan. Only he could write such a great book. It is my second most prized book, the first being Smullyan's other book, "To Mock A Mockingbird," which I also purchased from Amazon.
