<p>Hello,</p>
<p>to who already saw the announcement at some web sites,<br>please forgive me the noise. I would just like to<br>inform our texhax mailing list readers too.</p>
<p>My new LaTeX book will become available this month. It follows<br>a cookbook style, based on examples with explanation.</p>
<p>For a few days, until October 18th, the publisher offers<br>a pre-order discount of 35%. To help in deciding if you<br>might like the book or not, I made a website with<br>sample chapter, table of contents, and an example gallery.<br>A quick shot to already provide at least some information.<br>You can find it at: http://latex-cookbook.net<br>Some further information is at:<br>http://latex-community.org/home/news/44-news-latex/527-cookbook</p>
<p>The book assumes that the reader knows about LaTeX<br>basics or can read it somewhere else, so it can<br>quickly jump to interesting topics. That's why an introductory<br>book may be a good addition for somebody, so I convinced<br>the publisher to make my beginner's guide available<br>with 50% discount for some time.</p>
<p>There's detailed information (with coupon codes)<br>on the websites, the links are above.</p>
<p>If you would like to know more about the book,<br>let me know, just send me a mail to stefan at texblog.net.<br>Or ping me on a web forum.</p>
<p>I'm sure there will be a review in the TUGboat at some time,<br>that will give an independent view on the content. I just<br>wanted to let you already know about the publisher's promo days.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Stefan</p>
