This is a book which I'm currently reading. On my recessionista budget I found a second hand copy (1980 edition) with a few dodgy falling out pages. My main reasons for wanting to read this were that I say a video a talk by Hofstadter in which he talks about analogy as the basis of cognition, which I quite liked, and also I more recently discovered that his book, GEB, apparently contains steganographic content (i.e. hidden messages), after searching for steganography in the light of the Russian spy story in the media.
