Book Reviews of The World of Mathematics: A Four-Volume Set

Book Review: Great content but mediocre binding
Summary: 4 Stars

Love the contents of these books. Truly a classic that stands up well today. Unfortunately Dover chose to reissue these books as trade-press sized books with standard paperback bindings (along with the usual downsides of glue binding). Would have been great to give them a little better treatment (at least a lay-flat binding) for longevity and ease of reading.
