Community talk ⇒ Get the LaTeX Cookbook and the Beginner's Guide for $5 each

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hello friends,

I'm happy to tell you that currently you can get both of my LaTeX books for just $5 each. This means the ebook versions of

• The LaTeX Cookbook (very new, appeared just months ago)
• The LaTeX Beginner's Guide

The publisher allowed this offer to run until January 6, 2016. Then it will return to the normal price (I think the Cookbook was about $40).

Btw. any ebook you bought can be "upgraded" to the printed book, which costs only 50% of the print book.

There's a bigger campaign of the publisher, ebooks for $5 at this time at the end of the year, so you may find further IT books such as about programming and web design. I happily let my LaTeX books be part of it, to spread the word of LaTeX and to gather new LaTeX friends.

If you got it: I would be very interested in your opinion, if you liked it and what examples from the book you liked most. I would be happy about an email to stefan@texblog.net or any forum post here.

That is really nice of you

But as I see it now, the Beginner's Guide is being sold for less than $5 (INR 250), but the Cookbook is still being offered at nearly $10 (INR 687).

Is there something that I am missing?

Hi mas,

I can see both for the same price. Depending on the country and the currency, one may see the Dollar price, Euro, or INR. I see 5.45 Euro, which is 4.98 Euro plus VAT (tax).

Though I wonder why you see two different prices. Perhaps send a screenshot? I could ask the publisher for a reason.

I have taken the screenshots of both the books.
