If you haven't yet read The Last Crumb, it's well worth reading.

Congrats, Mike! However, TBH I think this poem deserves professional illustrator treatment. These images don't do it justice. You need someone that can illustrate as well as you can compose mathematical verse.

Thanks Mark! I tried to pitch illustration as a hubski crowd-source task, but I had few takers. thenewgreen made a good effort! I tried to get my daughter to illustrate it but she wasn't too interested. I suppose I could keep hunting ... I think the illustrations I made work, but something astonishing would be awesome.

Another problem is I'm not used to making money from my projects, and getting a professional would require paying a lot up front or promising a percentage -- and then I'd feel the need to market the book and make sure my illustrator makes actual money. Maybe I could find a combination illustrator/agent? I'm open to any ideas and recommendations!
