The ebook is very large. This makes it hard to access on any device without substantial memory. Perhaps there is a remedy for this problem.

The book is excellent to get a good understanding about the concept behind TikZ and pgf. I used LaTex and TikZ in a way of copy and paste from different websites but had no deeper understanding of TikZ. The TikZ manual is excellent, of course, but as a beginner you get lost in the level of details provided. Mr.Kottwitz book fills the gap of an easy-to-learn introduction to TikZ and will enable me to work successful with the TikZ manual.
