The Everything is Mathematical partworks was released in newsagencies this week. It’s an odd title, certainly not your usual part series. Beyond the limited appeal of the content, the retail package itself is dull, uninteresting. It does not led itself to retail display. This mar be a part series we kill off early given it drags us down and we’re not about to spend more than we should making it look good.
The comments from a team member in one of my newsagencies are insightful:
It’s a strange partwork in the sense of … who would want this? My first guess would be VCE teachers or students as the content is far too advanced to be placed with our kids magazines. I’ve placed it near Business, Science and I.T and we’ve sold the one since Monday.
I’ve checked out the website they promote on the front of part 1 – this is another reason to maybe ditch the title … no promotion of newsagents at all. I don;t mind being used to promote their model but they should pay me more than a few cents to do this.
They are pretty stange but we have sold about 5 but dolls house is till sitting there. We are getting enquires about the Watch series being advertised but we have not seen it?

Gary , I think Gotch might have got their hands on some stock my files for today had them to be delivered so should show up Monday
amazing what sells sometimes, just checked figures and we have sold 12. I thought we would be lucky to sell any.We are also waiting on more copies of the pocketwatch magazine
