a great book to dive deep into LaTeX - but also this book won't take from you the needed effort to really understand and master the skills!I like the book for great structuring all contents into meaningful chapters, which can be read independently, good examples for everything what is explained and a good layout, which makes it easier to understand what he is explaining.This book is not for beginners - you must know already the basics of LaTeX!I absolutely appreciate, that you get with the book a pdf-copy of the book - this makes it much easier to look into what you actually need, work on your ideas and optimize your document with the instructions from the book!I recommend this book to people interested in improving their LaTeX skills!

Ich nutze Latex sporadisch für Buchprojekte. Zu einigen Problemlösungen habe ich dieses Buch genutzt. Auch wenn es leider (für mich!) auf Englisch geschrieben ist, konnte ich spontan einige Hilfestellungen finden. Das Buch ist übersichtlich aufgebaut und beim Durchblättern findet man gute Anregungen. Eine große Hilfe!

I first encountered Stefan Kottwitz when I was teaching a course on Special Relativity and found several LaTeX- and TikZ-generated space-time diagrams he had posted on the web, which I incorporated into my course with minor modifications. Hence, I was excited to learn that he was about to publish the 2nd edition of his LaTeX Cookbook. The book far exceeds my already very high expectations. It is very well organized and comprehensive in its coverage, making it the ideal reference for everyone from the rank beginner to very sophisticated users.The book has about 150 templates that can serve as the starting point for whatever task the user has in mind, ranging from very simple (e.g. writing a letter) to very complex. Many of the templates deal with scientific topics such as graph theory, making Feynman diagrams, drawing molecules and drawing recursively defined fractals. Each topic or template is explained with "How to do it", How it works" and "There's more" sections. It does an excellent job of pointing the user to easy to use packages for accomplishing the task. and it points the user to the most useful features of these packages so that he/she does not get lost looking at a multitude of options. Some of the more advanced capabilities that the book delves into include making fillable forms, sophisticated graphics with TikZ, creating animations, programming with LuaLaTeX and using Artificial Intelligence. Finally, it is worth mentioning that for those who want to delve further into graphics the author has an entire other book on LaTeX Graphics with TikZ.My only suggestion for improvement is that, for physicists, it would be helpful to have some discussion of the features of REVTEX.

With countless practical examples of LaTeX in action, "LaTeX Cookbook" is a must buy for for enthusiasts or those looking to level up their document processing. The book is intelligently organized, allowing readers to quickly find the section applicable to their use case. A motivated beginner with clear intention can rely on this book to accomplish their goal, broadening and deepening their LaTeX skills along the way.Particularly appealing to me is the conversational style of the book, with code snippets interspersed between English. Stefan presents a problem, and then tells you "How to do it...". The sequencing of topics builds on itself, allowing the book to be readable in addition to quickly accessible. The "There's more..." sections allow for further exploration.Overall, I recommend it.
