Great book with interesting problems although "The Puzzle King: Sam Loyd's Chess Problems and Selected Mathematical Puzzles" is more comprehensive with chess problems of greater complexity I tend to rotate between both along with [...] and Shredder daily chess problems. Still, a great addition to my chess library.
