After stumbling across a description of Straight and Crooked Thinking, by Robert Thouless, on an unfortunately formatted website, I put it on my Amazon wish list. The book, however, is out of print, and the lowest priced copies have been in the $40-50 dollar range, with some copies fetching well over $100.

Then I happened to check Alibris one day and found a copy offered by a shop in Australia for under $20. I snapped it up, and received it yesterday. Isn’t the cover cool?

I’ll post a mini-review when I’ve finished reading it.
