review text: This is a most charming and fun-to-read introduction to the theory of well-poised hypergeometric series and their \(q\)-analogs. It can be read (and should be read) by every mathematician fascinated by surprisingly beautiful summations. The topic is set in a historical context, and its importance in wide areas of mathematics is described.
