Why read it?

1 author picked Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I have always liked the classical geometry of triangles and circles, but Matt Parker's book helped me go way beyond that and broaden my whole outlook. And the attractively hand-drawn diagrams and zany humour just added to the whole experience. After all, how many maths authors do you know who decide to build a computer out of 10,000 dominoes, just to calculate 6 + 4? 

From David's list on mathematics for the general reader.
