A Mathematician's Apology

The great Cambridge mathematician, G.H. Hardy writes about math and his friends at Cambridge, like JM Keynes, in a memoir that is not about math. I am not a friend of math but I enjoyed the book and recommend it. I would have been a friend of Hardy's if possible.

Re: Hawk Press hardcover reprintlow-grade binding, many typos, blurred preface page virtually unreadableLacks the important 1967 Forward by C. P. Snow which is included in other recent reprintingsI was hoping for a hc upgrade to my old worn pb copy, but this production is trash.

This book has lots of errors and typos so don't buy this book; go elsewhere for a better copy of the book.

The print in the book is really terrible. It seems to have been typed from the original with several typos, random spaces and gaps, and then cheaply bound.

Great book, a classic, but I bought for a gift exchange and the person who received it was not happy, wanted a bottle of liquor instead.

Horrible printing. The cover is fuzzy and the content seems like it was carelessly copied and pasted from a PDF

The short book is fascinating. But the number of typographical and other errors in this cheap reprint was distracting.
