The book is enjoyable. It is aimed at readers with a suitable math background and it is not for a general reader. The author does an excellent job in outlining the story of the constant gamma, and along the way he illustrates the many applications of it. The book touches upon the history of logarithms, the harmonic series, the zeta and gamma functions, to end with the Riemann Hypothesis. The book contains some useful appendices, with some technical background, and a good list of references.
