William, congratulations! This is a very nice book that deserved to be in print for a long time. It's been available online all this time, and it's very nice that you negotiated for it to be back online in the future. I will be getting a bound hard-copy anyway.
I've used the book for an undergraduate course in number theory two times, and my students liked the book a lot. Thanks again. Most students here cannot afford to buy text books: they have to share the library copies. But it really makes a difference to teach a course where all the students have access to the book all the time. Note that they are not lost buyers, they are gained readers. And again, I'll make sure that the library buys some copies. I'm eagerly awaiting your "Introduction to * computing using Sage" book. That's another course in my to-do list!
