Review Quotes:
" Butters and Henle have devised a series of "retrograde analysis" baseball puzzles, meaning puzzles whose goal is to discover something about the history of a baseball game given information about how things turned out in the end. Some of their puzzles involve analyzing newspaper box scores from actual games. This is one of the most creative puzzle books I have seen in years. "
