End of first week of Love Triangle
Added 2024-06-22 18:01:38 +0000 UTCI know you'e probably sick of me talking about my book Love Triangle. But today is the last day where sales count towards the UK best-seller charts. So it you're in the UK, now is the most-impactful time to buy. https://mathsgear.co.uk/products/love-triangle-by-matt-parker-signed
I've been casually working on this book since mid-2020 and in earnest for the past 18 months. Which is why I'm pulling out most of the stops to make sure it gets as much attention in the first week as possible; to validate that effort. I know you already love and appreciate trigonometry but good sales now means it will be pushed to a wider audience. Hence me banging on about it.
All your other UK buying options are here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/443151/love-triangle-by-parker-matt/9780241505694
If you're in the USA then you can help get me on the NYT best-seller chart for the first time. I've had a UK best-selling book but not one in the States. It will be released on August 20 and here are all the pre-order options: https://bit.ly/3wCTesR
I am working on a ridiculous gift to send to everyone who pre-orders in the USA (and for completeness, I'll send it to all Maths Gear orders as well) but that will be announced in the middle of July (according to the wishes of Penguin USA).
If you cannot afford the hardback of Love Triangle, do not worry. You can wait and get the cheaper paperback next year. Same words*, half the price.
*well, actually, fewer mistakes.

What are our remaining signed-copy options in the U.S.? I need to give my wife specific details so my in-laws can surprise me with the perfect gift.

2024-07-20 00:53:33 +0000 UTCJust got my Triangle edition of the book and realised that I now hear Matt's voice in my head when reading it.

2024-06-27 11:20:58 +0000 UTCSo glad I got the “Love Triangle is on its way!” email just 2 days after it arrived! I will not look forward to receiving your book, I’ll look backward instead. Or perhaps just read it…

2024-06-26 15:02:08 +0000 UTCI really want to read it now but unable to purchase the ebook version since i'm in the US. Is there a way to get the ebook UK version when i'm in the US?

2024-06-24 12:28:39 +0000 UTCThe terrible Python code gave me 24192. It’s different. Not sure it’s random. But at least one other person didn’t get 90,053, which is as close to a mathematical proof as you’re going to get.

2024-06-24 12:26:57 +0000 UTCYour new book arrived today, and I got Tetrahedral edition number 1647! Didn’t know you’d hidden the limited edition dust jackets beneath the standard edition jacket, so was slightly disappointed when I saw the book, until I realised there were two jackets!

2024-06-24 12:23:23 +0000 UTCI preordered it back in February, but my card was declined at the first attempt, however after fixing card info I never got confirmation... Any idea if the preorder went through?

2024-06-23 00:23:16 +0000 UTCI've tried to look up an interesting thing about 57520 but I don't understand any of the OEIS sequences that feature it (A187817 felt close but not quite...)

2024-06-22 21:47:17 +0000 UTCI appreciated the python generated Patreon-Kickstarter crossover note at the end of the Kickstarter email. 😂

2024-06-22 19:34:55 +0000 UTCThank you for checking. I think that worked.

2024-06-22 18:39:04 +0000 UTCOoh I like ridiculous gifts. Now to wait till August.
Bpendragon
2024-06-22 18:31:24 +0000 UTCYes, as they are held and only processed during the week of publication. (That said, the NYT refuse to say which shops contribute sales towards the totals, so it's not 100% guaranteed your vote will count!)
Matt Parker
2024-06-22 18:29:36 +0000 UTCAll the ones I can see under your name are incomplete. Might be best to order anew on Maths Gear, we still have plenty of Triangle dust jackets.
Matt Parker
2024-06-22 18:28:22 +0000 UTCWe have a lot to ship out; should be with you soon.
Matt Parker
2024-06-22 18:27:05 +0000 UTCPre-ordered months ago as ebook on Google Play in the US, will that still qualify for said ridiculous gift?
Eric Zago
2024-06-22 18:26:55 +0000 UTCDo pre-orders count towards the NYT best seller list?
Zach Bean
2024-06-22 18:25:06 +0000 UTCI ordered it, but had card issues when it first tried to charge. After fixing card info, it's unclear if my order has gone through successfully.
David Garrison
2024-06-22 18:24:15 +0000 UTCEagerly awaiting my book in the UK. Purchase confirmed but no confirmation of postage yet.
Derek Chandler
2024-06-22 18:23:16 +0000 UTCHope you enjoy it!
Matt Parker
2024-06-22 18:19:27 +0000 UTCYou'll have to compare between yourselves! Maybe everyone got 90,053.
Matt Parker
2024-06-22 18:18:57 +0000 UTCYou could have included a reference random number in here to check if the other one is really random 🎲

2024-06-22 18:08:16 +0000 UTCMine arrived yesterday. Looking forward to reading it.
