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.

After having collected many books on LaTeX i consider this set the best reference set of books on LaTeX. If one is serious about using LaTeX this is the initial must have set of LaTeX books
Great all-round reference May 14, 2008 Paul K. Shreeman 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The set is wonderful quick reference! If you are LaTeX user, then its likely that you are aware of thousands of manuals spread all over the place in the LaTeX structure, and everywhere else. These book comes in extremely handy when you are busy writing up a document in LaTeX and do not want to spend hours searching through countless online/electronic manuals. I found all four books very useful. I usually go to "Guide to LaTeX" By Kopka and Daly, and if they didn't go in enough depth, then it's to The LaTeX Companion book which usually finish the job. Whenever I wanted a more specialized info on presentation/graphics, it's "The LaTeX Graphics companion" time. I do not write much Web-related materials, but the book, "The LaTeX Web Companion" has excellent section on making PDF files which I use for presentation materials.
Not something you do not have available in the web October 1, 2008 A. Artemiou (State College, PA, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
First of all... you have almost everything available in the web... but again it is nice addition on the library for quick results... sometimes easier than going around the web...
If you know how to make a google search, probably you do not need most part of those books...
Again though, I like the fact of having everything available in a book... You can take a book anywhere... but maybe not your internet connection ;)
Finally, the reason I give it 4 stars is because their index needs major improvement.
