How To Read Mathematics

This is one of my all time favorite technical books - I've been searching for a dead-tree copy on and off for years. You've reminded me that times have changed, the technology has improved, and I should search again.

Thank you.

ADDED IN EDIT: A quick search shows that the updated version is co-authored by one of my personal heroes - Martin Gardner. Now I'll need to get two copies.

You can't have been looking very hard ;)

Most of the time I spent looking was before Amazon existed, but thanks for making me feel old. 8-(

I've seen printed versions of the linked document in Barnes&Noble.
