[Tex/LaTex] List of books written in LaTeX with the source available

Question

Is there a list of open source LaTeX books? I've only found these books (the link points to a web archive), but I want to know if there is a list with more diversity as this has only mathematical books. I want to find open source books about physics, chemistry, electronics…

My aim is to use these as a source of inspiration.
For example if I wanted to do a digital circuit I would like to take a look at a book written with LaTeX about electronics just to see how other people do it. Here for example is a physics book with the source available http://www.lightandmatter.com/lm/ . In this
book I've seen that putting images in the chapter entry looks nice.

TeX by Topic

Viktor Eijkhout's TeX by Topic is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL). It is typeset using LaTeX, and the source is available at BitBucket here.

The TeXbook

The question asks specifically about LaTeX, but the one and only The TeXbook by D.E. Knuth himself is a fine example of a complete book typeset with TeX. Its source is available on CTAN as the package texbook. Please note that this source is available for inspection/learning only and is not to be compiled.

LaTeX for Complete Novices as well as all other titles in The Dickimaw LaTeX Series

This collection of books written by Nicola Talbot is licensed under the GNU FDL just like TeX by Topic. The sources for each book¹ along with the typeset books in an array of output formats are available at the respective home pages:

• LaTeX for Complete Novices

• Using LaTeX to Write a PhD Thesis

• LaTeX for Administrative Work

• Creating a PDF Document using PDFLaTeX

• Converting LaTeX .sty Style Files to LaTeX2HTML .perl Style Files

• Creating Technical Posters with LaTeX

• Creating a LaTeX minimal example

¹ A caveat potentially relevant to this question is noted near the download link for each book's source code:

Note that the source code is very complicated as it required creating four different versions of the document: the HTML version, the A4 PDF version, the screen PDF version and the 7x10 inch paperback version. It should not be considered an example file for beginners.
