How can I cite fastbook?

Hi,

I am writing a paper that uses some of the knowledge I got from the fastbook, and I would like to cite it. Is it possible yet?

Best!

I’d say cite the book itself personally, as fastbook is meant to be the free open-source version of it (IE https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1492045527/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Thanks! It seems I was confused with the naming of the book

There is also the fastai publication: https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.04688

But I’m not sure what is the preferred way.

Edit: Ups, just saw you want to cite the book and not the library, so my comment is very likely useless.

Yes, just citing the book is the best way, thanks!
