Tessalation! is up for pre-order on Amazon!

Did you know you can put your books up on Amazon.com for pre-order? It's kind of a scary process. You can set up all of the parameters -- when it comes out, title, author name, files, cover, etc. -- but if you don't have the absolutely final this-is-it-come-and-get-it version, you can still launch a pre-order.

That's where I am. The book is done, it's at the printer, and I have a printer-only version but not yet the mobi file.

I have a number of math play stories and other media planned for this next month, so I knew it was time to get the pre-order up there so people with a connection to the book or backers who get the pdf early can post reviews well ahead of the launch date.

Also, any books sold in pre-order count towards the first week for the bestseller lists.

Also a good idea? Getting some testimonials from great voices to add to the Amazon site. For my project, I reached out to some wonderful backers who are big in the math play world.

Here is some early advance praise:

"I loved this book! An irresistible celebration of mathematics and nature, buoyantly and beautifully executed." – Dan Finkel, MathforLove.com

"Tessalation! is an invitation to view a beautiful slice of the natural world through the pattern-tinted lens of a child. Tessa and her vision are a gift to children, parents, math and art." – Christopher Danielson, TalkingMathwithKids.com

"Tessa Truman-Ling’s delight in patterns is contagious, and the book provides a wonderful jumping-off point for a variety of math activities." – Denise Gaskins, author of Let's Play Math: How Families Can Learn Math Together — and Enjoy It

"Beautifully vibrant, tessellating illustrations from Tessa's own observations show kids how fun mathematical patterns can be to make and find!" – Lucy Ravitch, blogger at KidsMathTeacher.com and author of The Pancake Menu

Using the new technology has really made these things so easy that you are able to see everything on just one click. You have been talking about the same thing that I already know.
