Quantum Physics for Babies will be 10 years old next year, and I think it would be really great if you guys could cite it more. Thanks.

If you don't mind me asking: How much income has this book generated for you (per citation if you will)? I'd be tempted to compare it to the "Fee ÷ impact factor" of my favorite journals

If you buy the book outside of the US today, I will get 15¢ next November. I'll give 6¢ of it to Australian government the following July. Still... more than if you download one of my papers... 😅

Once its readers are old enough to write their own papers those citation numbers are going to shoot right up

None of these are self citations by the way. 💪

How many were citations by babies

A mutual friend came to visit today, but he said, "Shh, don't tell people I'm here, I don't have time to visit everybody." Anyway, I'll definitely look for ways to cite one of our field's foundational texts more!

It is the first citation in my PhD thesis, but the thesis goes downhill quickly after that.
