Although I enjoyed her biography of H.S.M. Coxeter "King of Infinite Space" (2006), it included very little of his math, even considering that it is a book for laypersons and his math being mostly geometry is relatively accessible. I sure hope there is more of Conway's math discussed in this book. —Dan
