- prezjordan 11y agoI read that a few months ago and was incredibly upset when I turned to the last page. Such a fun read, requires no more than early college math (maybe not even that), but dives deep into some really, really interesting and quirky problems. Can't recommend it enough.
- mac01021 11y agoI'm confused. Would the same book with the last page removed be recommendable?
- prezjordan 11y agoYep :) I was disappointed because it was the last page "Oh no, it's over!"
- ColinWright 11y agoI'll tell Matt - he'll be pleased. He is known sometimes, when walking past book shops, to see if there are copies of his book. If there are he sometimes surreptitiously signs a few and puts them back on the shelf. If ever I write a book I'd find that a very tempting thing to do. I have published (note that I am the publisher, not the author) and am tempted to get the author to sign some of them that we place in shops, just because. It's not a technical technology book - in case you're interested: http://williamsonfineart.co.uk/BridgesOfDee.html http://williamsonfineart.co.uk/BridgesOfDee.html
