How to Win Every Argument: The Use and Abuse of LogicMadsen PirieIt's an excellent book of fallacies. The layout is professional in appearance. The writing is concise and to the point. The author comes across as erudite and somewhat witty.
I would suggest to the reader to begin at the back of the book however. In the back the fallacies are divided in to five major categories. If one reads the book in order based on these classifications it is not hard to master the material (the problem with this approach is that the reader has to flip back and forth in the book, like a choose your own adventure book, but I think it is worth the effort). If one tried to read the book simply in the order it's laid out in; that is, alphabetical, I think they would have a hard time of it. If another edition comes out I would hope the publisher would change the format so the fallacies are arranged by classification. Will you win every argument if you read this book? Ah, maybe. You will be able definitely recognize fallacies when they occur though, and that may help you win arguments, or at least point out how your opponents logic is flawed. In summary, I think it's an interesting well written book, the only major flaw being the alphabetical layout.
