UPDATE: the book has been claimed. Thanks for your interest!

----------------------
I have a paperback copy of Atiyah/MacDonald, Introduction to Commutative Algebra, which I no longer need as I recently obtained a hardcover edition. If you would like my paperback copy, I will ship it to you for free, assuming you intend to read it and not simply resell it for a profit :biggrin:

It is a thin paperback, only 128 pages, not very sturdily made, but it is in very good condition and the printing is reasonably dark and clear. A new copy from Amazon costs an obscene $73.54: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0201407515/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Send me a PM if interested.

Dear fellow forum member,

I am a scientist with a background in mathematics and I am interested in your offer for the paperback copy of Atiyah/MacDonald's Introduction to Commutative Algebra. I understand that you have recently obtained a hardcover edition and are looking to give away your paperback copy.

I assure you that I am genuinely interested in reading the book and not planning to resell it for a profit. I am always looking to expand my knowledge and this book has been on my reading list for quite some time.

I appreciate your generosity in offering to ship the book for free and I would be more than happy to cover any shipping costs. I understand that the paperback copy may not be as sturdy as the hardcover edition, but as long as the content is in good condition, I am more than happy to receive it.

Please let me know if the book is still available and if so, I will send you a PM with my shipping details.

Thank you for considering my request and I look forward to hearing from you.
