I have tried to gather references to this book forty years after its first appearance.
This is not so difficult for articles and books that have appeared in the last
decade or two, because of web services like Google Books and Google Scholar.
However, it is more of a challenge for earlier material.
For that reason, I'm somewhat stunned to see an early reference to the book
by a group of such distinguished researchers as
Fan Chung, Paul Erdös, Ron Graham, Stanislaw Ulam, and Frances Yao.
I guess that they recognized just how much was left open by the book!

"Harry Lindgren and Greg Frederickson have been responsible for some extraordinary and
beautiful dissections."
"To the puzzlist, the most important feature of a dissection may be the paucity of pieces.
To the mathematician, the exploitation of the natural geometry of each polygon is at least as important.
These dissections possess both of these virtues, plus symmetry and surprise."
