This is always the first "math book" I recommend to anyone* that asks for a recommendation.

* Except Joe - I safely assumed he had read it.

Not only read, but almost memorized it. My copy (a gift from my brother Jim in September 1979, before it won the Pulitzer Prize) is terribly dog-eared and full of hand-written annotations. LOVE that book to death! I never Meta-Genie that I didn't like! Ho! And on such a fine day!
