If your trying to do anything complicated with Latex and need a reference to this is the book you need.

This is perhaps the definitive reference book on LaTex. It's totally comprehensive. For that, it's perfect and you need one if you're going to do some serious LaTex work.
It's not so good as an instructional manual or for someone like me who wants to learn LaTex. Not enough examples and "show me" illustrations on how to achieve, for example, common typsetting and formatting layouts. Wish it had more examples of how to do the top 25 most common layout tasks.

This is a compilation of many concisely written topics. I have not enjoyed the writing much, and have found examples more clearly written on many web sites.

An up-to-date reference for experienced LaTeX users. This book does NOT contain an introduction to LaTeX. Rather, it assumes that the reader has a working LaTeX system and has written some documents before. The value of the book lies in its breadth of coverage. There is a solution for just about any LaTeX problem I can think of. Mostly, the solutions consist of a recommendation for some third-party LaTeX package (style file) and a short review of its use. But the book also covers some quite esoteric issues in-depth. For example, it contains the only introduction to BiBTeX style file programming that I'm aware of.
An indispensable resource for serious LaTeX writing for those with high standards for their typesetting.

If you are going to buy one book on latex this is the one. It covers all the basics of document typesetting with latex. I actually own the first edition of the book but of course, you should always get the latest one. In the book there are sections to cover the following topics:
- Setting-up single or multi-column layouts
- Typesetting basic headings and text
- Creating tables using either the "tabular" or the "array" packages
- How to have tables span multiple pages
- Working with floating figures
- How to typeset beautiful math formulas
- Handling accented characters
- Basic pictures and graphics import
- Installing new fonts
- Creating indexes
- Adding tables of contents and tables of figures
- Adding good looking bibliographies with Bibtex
Lots of material is covered. Though there is overlap I also think that the book by Leslie Lamport is a good complement to this book. Leslies book is shorter, ... Read More
