Title: Just add water.
Review: Ernest R. Ranucci and Wilma E. Rollins, Curiosities of the Cube (Thomas Y. Crowell, 1977)This is listed as a YA book, but given the way it's written, I'm thinking the teen set will have a pretty rough go of it before they've at least gotten halfway through their first geometry course, and I can't really see them enjoying it much. Ranucci and Rollins introduce the cube, with chapters on putting hem together, taking them apart, games you can play with them, and that sort of thing, but it's written more in the style of a research paper than a book aimed at math laymen; this is likely to throw some people off. Some good information, but not well-presented. **
