Question about Fantamatematica
On Amazon.com, the Look Inside feature shows that what they are selling is the second edition (based on the "Introduzione alla seconda edizione"), so I have a few questions:
- What was the date of the publication of the first edition?
- Was there a first edition ebook, too? If so, when was it published?
- What were the page numbers for the contents in the first edition (since they will be different than the second edition due to the addition of the second introduction)?
- Was the cover the same as the first edition?
- Was the price the same, too?
I may have other questions, too, but these will do for now. Thanks! ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 12:26, 19 May 2021 (EDT)
- Excuse me for the late reply :-(
- Here there is the answers:
- 1. What was the date of the publication of the first edition?
- 2. Was there a first edition ebook, too? If so, when was it published?
- The first edition of Fantamatematica (ISBN 9788865866467) was issued on October 15, 2014. See for example Google Books. It was only issued as an ebook.
- 3. What were the page numbers for the contents in the first edition (since they will be different than the second edition due to the addition of the second introduction)?
- Since there was not a printed edition, speaking of "page numbers" makes no sense. I don't even know if it makes sense to speak of the first edition in the context of isfdb...
- 4. Was the cover the same as the first edition?
- No. In the abovementioned link the old cover is shown.
- 5. Was the price the same, too?
- The price was 1.99 euros.
- I had a contract with 40K which expired last year, and I got my rights back. This is way I published this second edition. --.mau. 08:59, 5 July 2021 (EDT)

You can see the new publication [here http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?846267]. Please let me know if you have any questions., You can reply here as I'm watching this page. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 21:11, 5 July 2021 (EDT)
