<u>Emanuel Lasker</u>. The book was written by <u>Edward Lasker</u>.
Told him about the book <u>RATIONAL RECREATIONS</u>. He has seen all
4 volumes in the library and knows where to get a less ex-
pensive reprint if he wants it. The author is Hooper. (see 11/24).
Martin told me of a book he ordered through the French Book
Store - 70 Madison Ave. - for $20.60. It is called "''Anamorphoses''"-
by Jurgis Baltrusaitis (1969). It has great many black and white
reproductions of what is known as "Anamorphic Art." This was
a popular art from in the Renaissance. It is a circular flat paint-
ing which is to be viewed [illegible word crossed out] on the outside of a
reflective cylinder (or some were made for cones). Martin
made a cylinder from mirror paper he bought from Edwards
Scientific and it works beautifully. He is going to check with
<u>SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN</u> about the possibility of doing a column on
it and including a sheet of the mirror paper.
