The manuscript under review is a survey on symplectic translation planes. Let \(A(\Sigma)\) be a symplectic translation plane, i.e. a translation plane defined by some symplectic spread \(\Sigma\) defined on a \(2n\)-dimensional symplectic vector space \(V\) over some field \(F\). The very readable self-contained manuscript starts with an extensive introduction to translation planes, moves on to the construction and classification of symplectic translation planes of even order due to \textit{W. M. Kantor} [``Spreads, translation planes and Kerdock sets, I, II, SIAM J. Algebraic Discrete Methods 3, 151--165 and 308--318 (1982; Zbl 0493.51008 and Zbl 0535.51003)], provides examples of such planes, covers ovoidal translation planes and closes with a comprehensive appendix on the geometry of vector spaces. Ovoidal translation planes of even order \(q^2\) (for a definition see [\textit{J. A. Thas}, ``Ovoidal translation planes, Arch. Math. 23, 110--112 (1972; Zbl 0241.50019)]), are used to obtain examples of symplectic planes of order \(q^{2}\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 1047.00016].
