My book among the best 20 prime numbers books of all time (10/10/2024)

As of October 10, I noticed that Sequential Experiments with Primes is ranked 6th in the list of best 20 prime numbers books of all time (maintained by bookauthority - here). 

The evaluations in the rubrics New Mathematical Ideas and High Impact Learning make me happy because these were the primary objectives and the spirit in which I wrote the book.
