Updated
You can buy The Hundred-Page Language Models Book by Andriy Burkov in four formats through the "Buy the Book" section of thelmbook.com: an e-book at a price you set yourself, a hardcover for $65, a paperback for $47, and a "Dark Edition" for $55.

Format Comparison at a Glance
| Format | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| E-book | Set your own price | Digital edition; you choose what to pay |
| Hardcover | $65 | Physical copy; free PDF available on request |
| Paperback | $47 | Physical copy; free PDF available on request |
| Dark Edition | $55 | Separate edition listed alongside the other formats |
The site does not describe what distinguishes the Dark Edition from the standard hardcover or paperback, so treat it as a distinct listing rather than assume a specific difference.
How to Choose
- Want the lowest upfront cost: The e-book is the only format where you set the price, so it fits readers who want the content without paying a fixed amount.
- Want a physical reference and a digital copy: A hard copy (hardcover or paperback) lets you request the free PDF, giving you both. The paperback at $47 is the cheaper physical option; the hardcover at $65 costs more.
- Interested in the Dark Edition: It sits between the paperback and hardcover in price at $55. Because the site doesn't explain the difference, check the listing itself before buying if the distinction matters to you.
What You Get With Any Purchase
The book covers machine learning basics, text representation, count-based models, recurrent neural networks, and transformers, building up to a large chapter on large language models that includes prompt engineering and finetuning. Each chapter combines theory, illustrations, and Python code, with complete PyTorch implementations and Jupyter notebooks available on GitHub.
Buyers can also claim $150 in free GPU credits on Lambda by emailing proof of purchase to [email protected], according to the site.
