I remember a copy of that book in my house as I was growing up :) My
dad would use it to drill me on my math tables. He said once I had
my math tables down cold (so the answer came with zero hesitation) I
could
buy a slide rule...
I should check and see if my dad still has it.. my son should be
drilled on his math tables :)
