It’s time for a moment of shameless self-promotion. Burkard’s and my latest book has just appeared (electronic and pre-order), courtesy of the American Mathematical Society. It’s of course available at all good bookstores. So, Australians will have to order it online.
Marty, I must disagree with your implication! (But it makes for a cheap laugh). I’ll give a free shout-out to Dymocks, Robinsons Bookshop and Readings. All are great bookstores and have worked very hard to stay relevant, particularly over the last 2 years.
(*Sigh* … I still miss Borders at the Jam Factory …)
Acknowledged.
But be careful if ordering on-line: https://www.amazon.com.au/Two-Together-Peter-Cosmas-Sofronas-ebook/dp/B07FPR6V5G
And it looks like the book has already sold out!! https://www.amazon.com/Putting-Two-Together-Miscellaneous-Books/dp/1470460114
Yeah, not quite sure what happened, although I think Burkard plugged it on Mathologer. but, it may just be a covid delay.
Also, amazon should be the *last* resort!
Marti,
When is the book signing at Readings ?
One of the sources of quality texts as well as good coffee
Steve R
By appointment …
Marti,
Do you intend to put a few copies in local shops like Readings or Uni Book shops?
I’d rather fund them or AMS before Amazon.
Steve R
You think I have that kind of power?
Marti
Perhaps if you ask nicely as Readings have a science section ….I have a friend who photographed street art and managed to get copies of his book displayed in Hawthorn . I think he must have sold a few as the book was reprinted .
Steve R
Nah.
Ordered. Waiting to be delivered to my home.
When will you and Burkard run a signing session?
By appointment!
We did actually participate in the Melbourne Writers Festival for one book. But this publisher doesn’t seem to consider such things.
Congratulations to Burkard and you on this achievement.
Thanks. The main work was the Age column in the first place. Which was a killer.
You might consider the Bendigo Writers Festival sometime;

Up to them.
Out of curiosity, what level of book sales have the different books done? I know they’re not Harry Potter, but just curious what the numbers are.
Low.
