Hi, For starting out with LaTeX that comes with RedHat's tetex-* packages, I would recommend getting only the following THREE books : 1. Lamport, LaTeX Document Preparation System : User's Guide and Reference Manual, 2nd Edition (updated for LaTeX2e), Addison-Wesley. 2. Kopka and Daly, A Guide to LaTeX2e, Addison-Wesley. 3. Goossens, Mittlebach and Samarin, LaTeX Companion, Addison-Wesley. If you have money constrain, buy only Lamport's book. It is thin (272 pages including the reference manual !) and can get one started in no time to print beautiful documents. -- Raj +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Raj Singh | EMAIL : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | IC Design Group |---------------------------------| | CEERI, Pilani - 333 031 | PHONE : 91-1596-42359 (office) | | Rajasthan (INDIA) | FAX : 91-1596-42294 (office) | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
