How does the Lieber, Mazur,Lieber book (Infinity, beyond...) relate to Lieber & Lieber's Infinity from 1953? Is it a reissue / update? I found the latter in my high school library over 50 years ago (1958), and I liked it so much I was still wanting a copy when it became possible to look for used books on line. I succeeded in buying a copy in 2002.
As I look at the copy I have, I'm struck by what fine shape it's in, which is sad, as it is a copy withdrawn from the St. Ignatius High School in San Franscisco -- obviously because of lack of use...
After reading Infinity, I had to have The Education of TCMits, by the same authors. That's fun at least partly because of the mix of math and personal philosophy.
So, let me add my endorsement for Lieber's books
