A very good book
I read the book and loved it, I am a regular Word User who is not happy with word... sure I can figure out right from the first session what to to with it, but when I get around to what I really wanna do, not just simple functions like changing fonts, I am lost for .... lets call it words. TeX however allows much more. But it suffers from the common plague of people trying to make it wordlike simple. These people do TeX a great disservice, because its true power lies in its complexity, and its flexibility, this book is distinguishibale in that it never takes anything for granted, and explains the printing and formatting process from scratch, in fact its the one true good book of TeX or LaTeX I have seen in the entire long quest of mine for that true book.The one thing that is wrong with it... is that its VERY VERY expensive, it is worth the price, but still I am under the opinion the author or the publisher, could have realised what a treasure this book is an released it in a more affordable price or version... even if it ment lesser quality paper. But it is a GREAT BOOK!
