Better Books with LaTeX: Self-Publish on Amazon and Google
Are you a first-time author with a complete manuscript that you are ready to publish?
Or do you write novels in Word but now want to write a professional non-fiction book?
Perhaps you are a professional editor seeking to expand your services from merely editing Word files to helping releasing books online. Are you spending a lot of time indexing or managing bibliographical references?
You may already be a LaTeX expert who wants to publish your work as an ebook. Are you planning a series and need to reuse text blocks? Are you looking for ways to share your work and collaborate with others? Are you looking for support to help you with diagrams and graphics?
Besides providing you with a free ready-to-use template (for the new Overleaf v2 platform) to publish your next book, Better Books with LaTeX can teach you:
Advantages of using LaTeX instead of Word.
The basics of LaTeX to get you started to make small adjustments to the template included with the book.
Special requirements for final polishing (images, blank spaces, page breaks, etc.) to make a professional looking book / ebook.
And how to:
Convert a LaTeX document into a Kindle ebook in order to sell it on Amazon or Google.
Structure your book (foreword, preface, publisher information, TOC, glossary, ...) within a LaTeX project.
Better manage bibliographical references in order to save time and reduce mistakes.
Better manage indexes in order to save time during index creation and after page changes.
Reuse glossary items and other text blocks to save time when writing a series.
Create a book cover, add LaTeX graphics, and how to work with a designer to help you create an appealing book that sells.

This book has an occasional tip about book writing that can help me, but ultimately I feel that it does not do any of its two jobs great: I do not feel I can recommend this book to someone who has not had contact with LaTeX prior to this book, neither do I feel I have learnt a lot as an author.
It does give some content and info regarding the compilation as an ebook, and some changes that need to be performed, but I expected a more step-by-step approach that is not given.
To sum up: if you have it in your hands, you can learn good things from here. Otherwise, you are better off with one book per subject.
