Press reviews
Making Paper Automata does not disappoint. [It's] entertaining, encouraging, easy to read and understand, and non-intimidating format. Many unusual
concepts are presented and there is something for everyone, whether building paper automata is your primary interest or not. This book is an important addition to the automata bibliography.
