From: Eugene Salamin <gene_salamin@yahoo.com> They're wonderful books. And you have no excuse for not reading them yourself, since they have been reprinted by Dover, "two volumes bound as one". http://store.doverpublications.com/0486457818.html

Neither that web site or Amazon mentions "Bypasses"--are you sure it's the second volume of that set?

There was a little confusion. Mr Melzak wrote several books. There is among them a series of two books now reprinted by Dover in one volume Companion to Concrete Mathematics Vol 1: Companion to Concrete Mathematics 1973 Vol 2: subtitled : Mathematical Ideas, Modeling & Applications 1976 But "Bypasses" is another: Z.A. Melzak Bypasses- A Simple Approach To Complexity 1983 Wiley and Sons ISBN 047186854X Currently out of print And very commendable. Olivier Gérard
