My introduction to Martin Gardner was his book "The Annotated Alice," from which I learned about Lewis Carroll, Alice, enantiomorphs, Oxford, logic, how to read closely, and much more that I can't recall off the top of my head. He was a fascinating writer and man.


Wow. I bought that book some time ago, and it's been on my Must Find Time list for, well, some time. I completely forgot he was the editor.

Damn.


Do read it. Martin Gardner's notes are so enlightning and funny. Alas, sad news indeed.
