[edit] Benford as a character

Benford has admitted some similarities with and to identifying with the character of "Gregory Markham" in the 1998 thread. In the 1962/63 thread, Benford (and his twin brother) make a cameo appearance as two identical twins bugging character "Gordon Bernstein" about some incorrectly graded term papers.

[edit] Importance

It seems to me this book should have importance "Mid" instead of "Low". After all, it has an imprint of books named after it, and seems comparable in influence to many books currently on the "mid" list. I'll wait a bit to make the change until I see if there are any comments here in favor of leaving its rating as low. SarahLawrence Scott 18:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I've made the change to Mid importance.SarahLawrence Scott 20:57, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editions

There's something funny about the sequence of editions to this book. The Reissue Edition claims "not a word was changed" from the original hard cover in the Front Matter, but a comparison with the original Pocket Books paperback shows at least one significant change: the Pocket Books edition has quotes from Newton, Einstein, and Davies at the start; the Reissue is missing the Einstein quote. I don't own the hardcover, so I can't compare there. But I'm curious what happened in that case, and if there are other changes. SarahLawrence Scott 18:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
