First time I've seen it in the wild! The Mathematicians' Library on sale at a stand run by Kenilworth Books at #TMiP25

I was so surprised I accidentally signed them all!

#MathsToday #books #maths #History #HistoryOfMaths

A copy of my book, The Mathematicians' Library, stands upright on a pillar of seven other copies stacked on top of each other. They are flanked by other maths-themed books.
