Product Description

Product Description

This attractively priced boxed set brings together four leading books on the LaTeX software system for typesetting documents, covering all you need to know about LaTeX. Because LaTeX is especially good for technical documents and is freely available for almost any computer system, it has become a lingua franca of the scientific world. The first book in the set, Guide to LaTeX, 4/e, shows you how to begin using LaTeX, and also serves as a handy reference. The next three books, whose authors have taken a lead role in the development and dissemination of LaTeX's most recent versions, are The LaTeX Companion, 2/e, The Latex Graphics Companion, 2/e, and The LaTeX Web Companion. They provide further information on tools and techniques available for more complex typesetting needs, for incorporating graphics into documents, and for publishing technical text on the Web. Whether you are new to LaTeX or want to be sure that your LaTeX library is current and complete, you will find a useful place for this set on your reference shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for money, 17 April 2009
By G. W. Dekker - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When learning LaTeX, only web resources was not enough for me: it took me too long to find the things I needed, especially when trying to tweak appearance and layout of my reports. This companions package is very comprehensive. The LaTeX introduction is excellent and gives already much of what I needed. When this is not enough, the LaTeX and Graphics Companion are exhaustive. I did not use the Web Companion yet, but even for three books this is an excellent deal. One minor drawback: in my set, there is a slight difference in color of the covers: some books are 'whiter' than others, which is visually not nice on the shelf. But still: very good value for money!
