Sorry if this question is not doubts about LaTeX per se, but more a question for a guide to making my own book. There is a book or a course or a tutorial available specifically about making my own book step-by-step? Share your knowledge about this topic, please. I want to make my books professionally. That's all. Thank you everyone in advance!
I suggest reading Robert Bringhurst's The Elements of Typographic Style which is the best book I have come across on the subject. Then there is my A Few Notes on Book Design (> texdoc memdesign) based on my experience in creating books and other publications. After that use the memoir class (> texdoc memoir) which provides many means of creating professional books. (Warning: I'm the originator of memoir.)
Good luck in your endeavours.

Wow, I have a lot of materials to read right now, my head is spinning. But thank you for your precious time! – Alex990MW Nov 28 '20 at 19:59
- First of all, this is a very big time effort in my opinion. Let's say 200+ h.
- There is the so-called
KOMA-Scriptbundle that is similar to thememoirclass. - It comes with a extensive documentation (500+ pages), see https://www.ctan.org/pkg/koma-script (direct link to the PDF file).
- The
KOMA-Scriptbundle gives you a lot of tools. If you are serious about "writing a professional book" than this is at least one option that you should consider. - You can also read a book of a "famous" author, for example https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073FTN5I (by Stefan Kottwitz).
- Other than that, it's always good to have a look at What are good learning resources for a LaTeX beginner?.

_in identifiers frequently break the paradigm LaTeX advertises, because some characters are harder to pass to commands/macros. – 0xC0000022L Nov 29 '20 at 20:32
