Anyway I have my copy of GEB from 1974(ish), it's very falling apart, and last time I opened up it went right to a crucial page in the middle that has the central portion of the explanation of the proof of Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, where he states how to construct the specific paradoxical statement exemplifying the conclusion. So that was like magic!
