Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This short, well-written book covers the material essential for learning LATEX without any unnecessary detail. It discusses incisive examples that teach LATEX in a powerful yet abbreviated fashion, including the following crucial features: numerous examples of widely used mathematical expressions; complete documents illustrating the creation of articles, reports, and overhead projector slides; troubleshooting tips to help you pinpoint an error; details of how to set up a bibliography and an index; information about LATEX resources available on the Internet. LATEX has become an extremely popular typesetting system and is widely used throughout the sciences. Students may use it to typeset reports and theses (particularly graduate students in any mathematics or computer science discipline).The authors cover LATEX 2e, the latest standard version at the time of publication. An appendix discusses the differences between 2e and the older version, 2.09.

If you want to learn LATEX buy this book. I learned LATEX in 8 hours from reading this book. It is short and to the point.

The text have several examples and it is very clear. It is a good book to begin to learn latex but no more. When one get more experience writing latex, the book has only de basic commandas and a bit more. Search over the internet for more material is a good advise.

I have tried reading a lot of online articles about learning Latex, and none of them was very helpful. After reading this book for 1 hour, I started creating my own document (which had a pressing deadline). Do buy this book if you are beginner in Latex: the treatment is lucid, helpful and easy-to-read. 95% needs of 90% Latex users will be served by the commands given in this small 60 page book. If you have more advanced needs, this book gives excellent referencs to other, more reference-like Latex books. Oh, and if you are a Windows user, I'd strongly recomment (MikTeX + TeXnicCenter) as your Latex software.

Although some may consider this book to be awfully expensive for the few pages that it has, it is indeed worth the price.
The format of the presented information in this book is very well done. The LaTeX code is given on the left of the page and the rendering of the code is given on the right. This allows the reader to see the actual results yielded by the examples rather than only seeing the code. After all, how meaningful would it be to see LaTeX code and not know exactly what the actual rendering of it looks like?
Most features of LaTeX which I have needed for small documents and reports can be found in this book. There is also a nice sample report in the book which can be used as a template.
Finally, the book is not the least bit boring to read. The author has a sense of humour and gives interesting examples to illustrate various features of LaTeX.
In summary, this book is well worth its price. I hesitated to buy it at very first because I thought the shortness of the book would result in the exclusion of important features. However, for my purposes, the book does a very good job of covering what is needed for short mathematical articles and reports.
This is a very good book for beginners of LaTeX. I strongly recommend it.
