oh yes ! heartily recommended. i have a copy from amazon, and the stories are just incredible. it is just like a magicians trick. you know it's a trick because laws of physics and all that, but quite fun to deduce. the writing style is very engaging. some stories are fully resolved, others just conclude with a plausible hypothesis that explains the data, but due to lack of sufficient evidence cannot be confirmed.
