Man I wish more books, especially math books, were written in Tufte-style layout.. basically really wide margins (maybe as much as 1/3 the page) and all the figures and footnotes are in the margin.

@freemo You can do this with LaTeX

However posting the link to also give more people an idea of what this format is, I had not heard of it till now.

I can see the advantage however wide margins also allow for more notes / comments too I guess.

@zleap Indeed you can. In fact my own incomplete book uses this format.

If you really want to see an example you can check out my book. I think it serves as a pretty nice example of the layout: http://jeffreyfreeman.me/frequency-domain-circuit-analysis-tutorial/
