Counting book off to the printer

by rrusczyk, Jun 17, 2006, 3:21 PM

DPatrick's book went off to the printer! We should have it up for sale at the beginning of December at the latest.

In other good news, we added another local group to our Local Programs Initiative of the Art of Problem Solving Foundation - bubala's Pythagoreans group at Scarsdale High School.

So, have you decided on a price yet? You could always just auction off each book individually ;)

We have had people suggest all sorts of weird price mechanisms. We even had one person suggest that different people accessing the site be shown different prices (a la what Amazon tried a while back) - no way we'll do that (I'm surprised Amazon tried it).

Right now we are expecting to charge an introductory price of 35 USD for the text, 39 USD for text + solutions, and something like 11 for solutions alone (i.e. there's a big discount for getting both at once). Tentatively, we expect to offer 10% off for orders of 5-9 texts and 20% off for orders of 10+ (where solutions don't count as texts). We expect the Number Theory book to be similarly priced and the Geometry book to be 5-10 USD more (since it is around 200 pages longer than the counting book).
