Customer Reviews

Speed is gold
For those who want to become productive with LaTex without wasting lots time reading irrelevant information, this book gets you to do just that. I have used quite a few Tex references over the years, Hahn's book is the one that I go back to time after time.

A non-programmers guide to a poweful program.
Like most of the programs attached to the Unix environment this book takes the reader into a powerful and complex application. The benefit of this volume is that the reader is given the chance to learn just what the task at hand needs. By allowing the novice to learn what needs to be done in the beginning, the book provides powerful methods for success. In giving the reader a balence of easy to use concepts backed by concise reference material almost any level of skill can be accomodated. Over all this work is an excellent blend of concept and reference. For the beginner as well as the experienced Tex user, this book should be on the "must read" list. As a reference it is ample for even the most experienced user.
