Even in the digital era, receiving the hardcopy is always a pleasure. Probably the five complimentary copies I received are the only reprints, thus the environmental footprint is limited also considering the savings in colors for the new cover.

A Superintense Laser-Plasma Interaction Theory Primer
This 2nd edition of the briefs provides a very compact theoretical introduction to laser-plasma interactions, at a tutorial level upper graduate students.
Finally, the second edition of this primer is out. Not only the cover, but also the text has changed a lot - say, by 80%, with the hope to have improved it (or at least to have removed most parts I didn't like anymore). link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Cover of "A Superintense Laser-Plasma Interaction Theory Primer" book.
With an enormous delay, I just submitted the manuscript of the 2nd edition of this ultrathin book. The original project was to change a 20% of the text, I ended up rewriting more than 80% (as a reviewer, today I would not recommend the 1st edition ...)

"I was tempted to decline your invitation since a two days deadline for a review is ridiculous, unless one is asked to evaluate the work by the title only. However, this was indeed the case and the title revealed that the manuscript is ridiculous as well, which makes the procedure consistent."
