This is a wonderful book because it is not only large, containing
200 pages of illusions, that are very diverse but the author also
gives you advice on just what you should be looking for and why. He
explains the illusion... This, of course, goes to those who have
been waiting for an excellent book on optical illusions... A must
have for optical illusion fans.--Katrina Yurenka "Youth Services
Book Review" (11/3/2015 12:00:00 AM)
Too old for toys, too young for booze: What to get as a gift for
those adolescent nieces and nephews? Ideally, it should be
something that doesn't involve staring at a screen, so how about
enticing them to stare at deceptive designs in a book instead?
Whether it's jumping coins, disappearing letters, or a mural by the
street artist Banksy, the challenges posed in this volume will
likely prove irresistible to even the most jaded youth. Others in
the family will want to have a turn with the book as well, which
may make for an unusually quiet interval in the midst of holiday
madness. Brief explanations accompany most of the illusions,
building up to a fresh appreciation for our faculty of sight. Gift
Guide 2015 Selection.--Sandra J. Ackerman "American Scientist"
