From the back cover of
The LaTeX Companion...
LaTeX is an accessible and effective tool for typesetting written documents. Users at all levels of experience, however, sometimes require help not readily available: techniques for defining new commands, styles for producing tables or graphics, explanations for changing fonts. This book, The LaTeX Companion, is packed with information needed to use LaTeX even more productively. It is a true companion to Leslie Lamport's original user's guide, LaTeX: A Documentation Preparation System, 2nd ed., and indeed, it is a valuable complement to any LaTeX introduction. It is designed to enhance, not to replace, your basic documentation.
Coinciding with the publication of The LaTeX Companion is the availability of a revised LaTeX standard-LaTeX2e. This new release incorporates important LaTeX developments over the past several years and provides a common basis for all LaTeX enhancements. Some new styles, improved font handling and a facility to produce PostScript graphics are included in the release. As part of the broad and unique coverage of this book, you will find complete documentation for all these added features.
