"Perfect Figures" by Bunny Crumpacker

This book had some interesting tidbits about the history of numbers. It also had what I consider to be crap... E.g. So and so number is the first one to contain so and so letter in its English name. Another e.g... She would pull up numerous examples where the number she was discussing occurred e.g.12 apostles etc etc. I skipped a lot because coincidences like that don't interest me. But I did like her final chapter very much... on googol and infinity.
