I'd like to recommend LEWIS CARROLL IN NUMBERLAND - and no I am not being paid by the author to say so. I think it's excellent. It explains Carroll's maths and logic for the layman (with a bit of proper,Maths in it for clever readers)(clearly signed so the readers like me can skip it).
Best of all, it gives a telling overview of what Maths meant to Carroll. After reading it, I got a glimpse of what maths meant to him.
Frankly I wouldn't have thought it possible to bring out a book on Carroll's maths which is truly readable, but there you are. The url is www.amazon.co.uk/Lewis-Carroll-Numberland-Fantastical-Mathematical/dp/0713997575/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219439246&sr=1-1
