    A birational transformation from the complex projective plane into itself is called a Cremona transformation. This is a very classical topic and the structure of the group of all plane Cremona transformations has received a good deal of attention in the modern literature. The aim of this book is not to focus on it, but to focus on a fixed but arbitrary Cremona transformation \(T\) filling in several gaps in the classical literature in which often the proofs assumed that the base points of \(T\) were not infinitely near base points. This book starts with the classical results in updated versions and presents a nice and reasonably self-contained exposition of the base points of a Cremona transformation. Hence this book is a must for anybody interested in the subject. In later chapters this book contains a few new results and gives for the first time complete proofs of some classical assertions.
