In THE BOOK OF NUMBERS, two famous mathematicians fascinated by beautiful and intriguing number patterns share their insights and discoveries with each other and with readers. John Conway is the showman, master of mathematical games and flamboyant presentations; Richard Guy is the encyclopedist, always on top of problems waiting to be solved. Together they show us why patterns and properties of numbers have captivated mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike for centuries. THE BOOK OF NUMBERS features Conway and Guy's favorite stories about all the kinds of numbers any of us is likely to encounter, and many others besides. "Our aim," the authors write, "is to bring to the inquisitive reader. . .an explanation of the many ways the word 'number' is used." They explore patterns that emerge in arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, describe these pattern' relevance both inside and outside mathematics, and introduce the strange worlds of complex, transcendental, and surreal numbers. This unique book brings together facts, pictures and stories about numbers in a way that no one but an extraordinarily talented pair of mathematician/writers could do.Binding Type: Hardcover

4.5 Stars - Highly Recommend- Will Buy Copies for My Kids
Format: Paperback
I was torn between 4 and 5 stars, because this book is very good. The pay no taxes part of the book is a solid 5 stars. However, I was much more interested in the buy, borrow, die strategies. Those strategies are good, including a fairly thorough explanation and use cases. But there wasn't enough explanation of the long-term handling of the debt and the possibility of margin calls. If you leverage 50% of your portfolio and the market goes down 30 to 35%, which does happen, you can quickly get in trouble. Many of the current ETFs that pay high dividends haven't been around long enough to go through a 30 - 35% market drop, so it's difficult to accurately predict how they'll perform. Of course, if you don't overleverage, the chances of a margin call are much lower, even if the market tanks.
Also, the book says to invest in assets you can borrow against, including stock, ETFs, real estate, crypto, and gold/silver. On the surface, this is a good strategy. While you can borrow against these things, borrowing against precious metals carries a higher interest rate (though I'm sure if you have tens of millions, you can find better rates, but most people don't have that much), and borrowing against crypto is dangerous. Hopefully crypto will become better protected, but right now, the company lending you money against your crypto can just run off with your crypto. It has happened.
The reason I rated the book 4 stars instead of 5 is solely because I'm more interested in buy, borrow, die than the tax coverage. If I bought the book for the tax avoidance, it would be a 5.
Overall, I highly recommend the book. I'm going to buy a copy for both of my children, who are in their 20's.

Informative process, with examples and suggestions!
Format: Paperback
Easy to read book on Buy, Borrow, Die method to build wealth for yourself and future generations. I learned enough that I bought the other books from Mark. His writing is comfortable, chapters are divided up nicely, and they are short enough that you can read one in just a few min (important for us people that get interrupted every 10 min).

Zero taxes = zero country
Format: Paperback
Suppose every American was able to pay no taxes. What would happen? Seems reasonable that everyone should pay something to enjoy America’s freedom. It’s reasonable that we take advantage of tax laws but not to the point where no one pays taxes.

Teach this to your family!
Format: Paperback
Great easy book to read and follow. A lot of similarities from another ecosystem I’ve educated myself on.
However this system Mark Quann spells out and holds your hand as he describes the step by step process of implementation…makes it so easy to understand.
I’m 60 and no one has ever taught how simple it is to save grow tax free like this and it’s legal!!!
Thanks Mark
Look forward to your next book on digital assets and AI autonomously making us money while we sleep🎉
