I've read those, as well as _The Little MLer_ and _The Little Prover_, and I did not make that connection. I can certainly see some overlap, but Braithwaite's style here seems _sui generis_. Clearly there is a focus on simple explanations and building up from a very small basis, but that's about all I find in common stylistically. Nonetheless, I very much enjoy both styles. -- Scott
