There are quite a few mistakes in the book.

Example: See the watermarks folder.

The .tex file uses line breaks at end of paragraph.

Crude indents.

Package list is ridiculous for the purpose of demonstrating watermarks.

references are used in the wrong way.

The book is likely to misguide beginners.

Users with some experience will find all kind of faults and may

Teachers will not find it useful. Existing books are far better.

* Users with some familiarity will want help by contexts that include
a set of environments and/or light packages - the book has missed out
on this by a long margin.

It will not be useful for TeXnicians.

* What is the shortcoming in available books that the book seeks to fill?

Is the book written according to the principle: "you know LaTeX, if
you can improve all of the .tex files in this collection"?
