Pre-Orders LIVE: Securing Your Copy of Physics for Mathematicians and Informing the Current Print Run

The Demand for Rigor: A Strategic Pre-Order Launch
At Publish or Perish, Inc.®, we are defined by our unwavering commitment to producing books of the highest possible quality. This is why Physics for Mathematicians, Mechanics I by Michael Spivak was briefly unavailable. It wasn't for a lack of demand—quite the opposite. The book's absence from our catalog led to a surge in demand on the secondary market, with used copies reportedly selling for very high prices. It is a source of great concern for us to see our books being subjected to this kind of price gouging, and we are dedicated to making sure this foundational text is available at a fair price to all who need it.
The book’s absence was a direct result of our dedication to perfecting our new, in-house production capabilities. We are thrilled to say that this new print of Physics for Mathematicians is another testament to our ongoing commitment to quality, a title that simply required more attention to detail and time to produce in the way we envisioned.
The Publish or Perish, Inc.® Difference: Superior Materials
The new print of Physics for Mathematicians maintains the original, celebrated content while offering significant upgrades to the physical product. We are proud to announce that this print is built with superior materials to ensure it will last for decades. This includes:
- Domtar® Lynx® Opaque Ultra Text paper, a high-quality stock chosen for its exceptional durability, smoothness, and opacity, which prevents distracting show-through from the back of the page.
- We have also committed to printing all our books grain short. This means the paper grain runs parallel to the spine, a process that costs more in paper but provides a superior finished product. The pages lie flatter, are easier to turn, and the book does not try to snap shut.
- An upgraded cover material sourced specifically to be more robust and long-lasting.
- A vastly improved adhesive for the binding. The previous adhesive, a cornstarch-based glue, was not suitable for a book of this caliber, as it could degrade over time. The adhesive we now use is designed for permanence, a testament to our philosophy of publishing books that endure.
