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.

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