I'm not sure how much this community looks at non-fiction books/collections, but I wanted to share a great find for a mathematician 😊

The author/editor of this anthology definitely did their due diligence in all aspects of putting together this anthology and their efforts are much appreciated 🙏🏻

Should you sell, I saw a bunch of listings around 200€, yours is beautiful with the box.

Strangely, when my copy got soaked after a false alarm at my residence, it didn't wrinkle.

This is one of the first books I bought when I started getting into collecting. I found it by chance at an antiquarian shop I used to frequent back in grad school. As a collector of mostly nonfiction material, this post was great to see.

Not really rare, but a very popular set. Easy to sell.

Can you point me to other book subs that it would fit better in?

Someone is pulling your leg about the value. Its worth $35 or less
