Nice book. A little more attached to mathematics than the philosophy and the dying need of being a mathematician. Gets a little drab for a layman, in the middle. Covers more concepts than 'A Mathematician's Apology'. It is almost a Part 2 of the latter. It is more about numbers. Talks about the beauty of mathematics. The other book talked about the beauty of mathematics in the mind of mathematicians and their pleasure and inevitable need to do so. The earlier one was a better book for laymen and for thought, while this one appeals to a more mathematical frame of mind.
