We take stock of what we have and what remains to be had in the Little Mathematics Library series. There is only 1 (updated 25 Oct 21) 4 5 (+ 1 in bad condition) titles remaining, they are marked in red, so if you have any of these please let us know. Or if you know of any book that is missing please let us know.
Of course anything like this would not have been possible if, there were not all others who preceded us in goodwill and thought. These are people whom we don’t know and maybe won’t ever know, it is due to them that most of titles are with us.
Dedicated to Smiley and team. We all owe it to you!

Thanks Saugata have updated the post, and was actually in the original listing that I had done. But somehow missed it on this list. This book is also part of the Popular Lectures in Mathematics series as Vol 4.
We will soon have postings of PLM, and Topics in Mathematics (TiM) also.

Oh, Well. Technology is full of such quirks. If someone can update the password in the actual post with a short note that it is wwwmirtitlesorg, and explain what is, I think we should be OK. It did puzzle me a bit. Furthermore, the choice of the archival program is not an issue because both WinRAR; WinZIP handle these seamlessly. So, a small update to the effect on the posting about choice of “unzip” utilities would help.
