Pick a number, any number, and "The Book of Numbers" will let you in on all its secrets. You'll be amazed at just how entertaining numbers can be. Where else in one place could you find out how the illegal numbers racket worked, what makes some people see numbers as colours, why the standard US rail gauge exactly matches the axle width of an ancient Roman chariot, the numerological connection between Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden and which numbers have been most successful in lotteries? Our lives are ruled by numbers and this book tells you about every one that counts!
