Review From the book reviews:"Ive been looking for a friendly and accessible manual that I could recommend to students as a way to get over the initial learning curve, and this book seemed like it would fit the bill. … The emphasis is on skills necessary for writing and presenting in an academic setting, and in particular it is geared toward students in math, physics, and numerate disciplines. … Overall, it is a well-presented volume and pleasant to read." (Sara Kalvala, Computing Reviews, December, 2014)"The book starts with a quick survey, and then explores a bit deeper how to typeset the text, the use of environments, (mathematical) formulas and arrays, and finally the global structure of the document (top matter, body, back matter). … this book might be interesting to read, not only for the beginner, but also for the experienced LaTeX user." (Adhemar Bultheel, euro-math-soc.eu, December, 2014)"If I really, really have to learn LaTeX, this is the book Ill go to in a flash. … Even at a first glance or at first browse its abundantly clear that this is a very good book for a TeXtyro like me … . Its eminently practical and therefore eminently worthwhile."
