       | Sometimes, this kind of children's books make me sad for not
       | living in an English speaking country. The adults are fine - most
       | adults can read English - but the children are missing out on
       | many great books
       | 
       | Can we imagine a future where you can buy books as source files
       | such as latex and then you can translate/edit it by yourself and
       | order customized editions for private use?

       | I read the Math with Bad Drawings book. I loved it.
       | 
       | I did my undergrad in Physics, and I work in Deep Learning. I
       | have dealt with _hard math_ all my life. And I, too, learned a
       | lot from these books.
       | 
       | I would highly recommend this book to you even if you have
       | studied Math systematically in an academic setting.
       | 
       | These books are worth the money and time.

       | I hope that doesn't lose him too many pre-orders.

       | Edit: I didn't realise that page was from January - the book is
       | available from Amazon. I thought from the HN title that it was
       | just linking to the homepage, not a specific old page.

       | These books are awesome - the perfect bait to get kids interested
       | in math topics.
       | 
       | We have all three on the shelf; kids first are drawn to the cute
       | stick-figure comics, and read around a bit while they're there -
       | the result is learning interesting bits and pieces about math.
       | 
       | Highly recommended! In particular the third book about
       | mathematical games is a delight.
