Geo Book ETA is very roughly December 2015

by v_Enhance, Dec 2, 2014, 4:04 AM

To the many of you that have been asking about my geometry book: firstly, thanks for all the interest.

I finally wrote to my prospective publisher (the MAA Problem Book series) demanding to know exactly what I should be expecting from the publication process. The reply I got back indicated that the next review I get will actually be a close reading, rather than just general comments like the first time (a relief), and that I can expect this to come by mid to late spring semester. After I respond to this close reading (which hopefully will not take long, considering how much polishing I've already done), there will be a formal voting, and then work with nitty-gritty details (copyediting, cover art, etc.).

Probably most important is the last paragraph:
Quote:
A reasonable expectation for publication could well be December 2015. Publishing your work is definitely the right choice; my board would not have recommended that you continue to work on it otherwise. You will be able to receive a modest return on your work as well as credit for it, and it will be available for many, many students to use.
So again, I have to ask you all (as well as myself) to please be patient. Ultimately the review process does make the book better and the publication does let me reach a much wider audience. And of course I'll make a huge amount of noise the moment the book is available for purchase!

It's okay, I already get such requests at a rate of once per few weeks. It breaks my heart to have to deny them (i.e. it goes against my instinct as a teacher), but alas...

I'm excited to see it! I'm probably out of the intended audience (or will be in one year, at least) but I can't wait to read it nonetheless. I'm happy for you to get it published :)

Hooray! I love geometry, and I think I'll be right in the intended audience level in 1 year

This will be published by MAA? Will it be available on Amazon or we have to order directly from their website? I can't see any books sold on the MAA website wherein we order from the site itself.

Why don't you sell it on AOPS as an ebook, it will help international students rather than ordering on Amazon which takes months to ship internationally and costs a lot of shipping.
