A Complete User's Guide to Typesetting with TeX
Here is the definitive guide to the use of TeX, written by the system's creator. Everything one needs to know about TeX is explained here.
From the back cover of
The TeXbook...
TeX represents the state-of-the-art in computer typesetting. It is particularly valuable where the document, article, or book to be produced contains a lot of mathematics, and where the user is concerned about typographic quality. TeX software offers both writers and publishers the opportunity to produce technical text, in an attractive form, with the speed and efficiency of a computer system.
Novice and expert users alike will gain from The TeXbook the level of information they seek. Knuth warns newcomers away from more difficult areas, while he entices experienced users with new challenges. The novice need not learn much about TeX to prepare a simple manuscript with it. But for the preparation of more complex documents, The TeXbook contains all the details required.
Knuth's familiar wit and illustrations specially drawn by Duane Bibby add a light touch to an unusually readable software manual.
