A combination of two of math popularizer Stewart's tried-and-true book-writing strategies: (1) Numerous short puzzles and oddities, as in _... Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities_. (2) Clever and pun-laden parodies of classic writings, as in _Flatterland_. In this case, the parodied writings are the Sherlock Holmes stories.
