I have not read the book properly, but nice book for beginners.
The right corner of this website has a link for this featured book. However, the free download time has alredy passed. So, is the link "Free download soon" still useful ?

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Thank you for the info, I removed the link, which pointed to this forum thread (not directly to the publisher's download site),

dmitris and mnkc, if you are really interested in the book, perhaps I can speak with their marketing people.mnkc wrote:Same here!dmitris wrote:Bummer - missed the book because I kept reloading the first page and did not think of clicking the tiny [2] and [3] pages...
As I said,
but sometimes the publisher provides also single book copies for promotion. For example, if somebody would write a blog post or article (we can easily publish here) about a related topic with mentioning of the book to satisfy the publisher's marketing people.Stefan_K wrote: I cannot simply give a copy, because making a copy for somebody else is not legal. Don't know if there's an internal mark who bought or downloaded a book, so I cannot simply copy my ebook.
If anybody would be interested, let me know, such as here in the thread or even better, send me a message.

Re: Get the "LaTeX Beginner's Guide" ebook for free
I found the book before I found this Forum. I am a regular on the Packt website and have downloaded several free e-books from their site as well as purchasing several e-books and printed books. Your book was just what I needed to discover LaTeX. I can't believe it was offered free. Every time I read through it I find something new that I can apply. It's a great book. Thanks for writing it.
