If not in any particular rush, you can get a UK copy of 'How to Bake Pi' at http://www.bookdepository.com/ (best price, free shipping, and they take paypal). Plus it turns out that Eugenia Cheng just released another book in UK on June 4 called 'Cakes, Custard and Category Theory: Easy Recipes for Understanding Complex Maths' which seemed interesting so that was ordered as well. Shipping time to US is listed as 5 days.

Plus if you need a .pdf of Feynman's favorite math book (Calculus for the Practical Man - Thompson (1946)) currently there are copies at KAT and PB.

How to bake pi and cakes, custard, and category theory are the same book.

You're right. The new one looks like a US pb release of the original yet at UK book sites these are presented as separate entities in their summaries. Found that out by skimming Cheng's Twitter page. Thanks for the info.
