A Mathematical Tapestry by Peter Hilton

A book of demanding recreational mathematics about flexagons. Full of detailed instructions for the construction of flexagons. This book must have taken as much or more effort as any well written mathematical textbook. If only I had the hours and the energy to dig into it now.
