Game Theory: An open-access textbook with solved exercises

That's a beautifully typeset book.

Any suggestions on what authoring tool(s) to use to write a book like this that has lots of matrices, diagrams, and notation?

Uh, I don't know. This font is, well, artsy, but I find it honestly hard to read. It's just too unusual. I'm not a fan of some other decorations here as well (like these blurry raster pencils, for instance).

As for your question, usual answer would be LaTeX + (maybe) some specific plugins (like TikZ for diagrams, or tufte-latex for specific layout, or whatever), but due to some irregularities here I suspect that this particular book is actually hand-made in something like Microsoft Office. I well might be wrong, I'm not sure, it just seems like that.

It certainly does look like it was made by Microsoft Office, however, pdfinfo says Producer: PDF Annotator 5.0.0.511 [Debenu Quick PDF Library 11.15 (www.debenu.com)]

Thank you for those TikZ and tufte-latex tips! I should investigate LaTeX in depth.
