“Close to 150 entries in more than 300 pages, routines from dozens of popular creators, invariably clear descriptions (even of complicated mathematic principles). Original presentations that are actually useable, and variations that serve clear purposes. Mr. Beam’s clarity and consistency of vision is a significant if less often commented upon reason for the success of these books.” – Jamy Ian Swiss, Genii, March 2001.
