It jumped out at me as a nice example of the Edward Tufte style (which I'm a big fan of -- I once published a tech report in that style). People have put together style sheets emulating it for LaTeX [1][2], CSS [3], and R Studio Markdown [4], among others.

The authors open-sourced their setup for Tufte-style books: https://github.com/sisl/tufte_algorithms_book
Do you mean the chosen page layout, the attribution of different classes of information in different specific parts of the page?

It does look quite clear, well thought and well structured.

I think s/he meant the typography, the quality of the drawings and the big right margin allocated for the figure labels and the sidenotes.
