[Axiom-developer] RE: [AxiomFoundation] publishing of "Axiom - The 30 Year Horizon" at Lulu

[Page, Bill]

All,

One thing we should seriously consider I think is to
purchase an ISBN (International Standard Book Number)
for the new Axiom book. See:

  http://www.lulu.com/services/isbn.php

This is important because I can seriously imagine that
some universities *might* be interested in using the
Axiom book in a course on Computer Algebra and although
the book will still be available for free downloading
I expect that most university book stores would prefer
to be able to order copies of the book through the usual
channels.

What do you think?

Regards,
Bill Page.
