Here is what people are saying about the LaTeX Companion, The (2nd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Series on Tools and Techniques for Computer T)
5 Star Rating  "An Excellent Desk Reference"2009-08-20
- Reviewed By Monica L. Wolfson
I started using LaTex earlier this year after the Microsoft equation editor annoyed me for the last time. The great thing about LaTex is that it lets you forget about the format for a while and actually focus on the writing. No more stupid paperclips popping up to ask if you need help formatting a list! No more saving a document one day and opening it the next and for some reason all your indentation is screwy. LaTex just works!

There are definitely tons of excellent online resources for LaTex that are freely available. The nice thing about this book, however, is that besides providing simple answers for general questions, it also goes on to explain why things work the way they do in LaTex. Example code is displayed in two colors, making it much easier to read.

Another reason the book is nice is that just by flipping through it, you can find examples of things that you did not even know you could do in Latex. Each section is very detailed with example code and results. I definitely recommend keeping this book by your side when working in LaTex.
 
5 Star Rating  "Great over all LaTex refrence."2008-08-19
- Reviewed By Mark
If your trying to do anything complicated with Latex and need a reference to this is the book you need.
 
4 Star Rating  "Excellent reference text. Not a teaching text"2008-07-21
- Reviewed By Google Senior Solution Specialist from New York, NY
This is perhaps the definitive reference book on LaTex. It's totally comprehensive. For that, it's perfect and you need one if you're going to do some serious LaTex work.

It's not so good as an instructional manual or for someone like me who wants to learn LaTex. Not enough examples and "show me" illustrations on how to achieve, for example, common typsetting and formatting layouts. Wish it had more examples of how to do the top 25 most common layout tasks.
 
3 Star Rating  "This is not a good guide for learning LaTeX"2008-02-21
- Reviewed By waveadeadchicken
This is a compilation of many concisely written topics. I have not enjoyed the writing much, and have found examples more clearly written on many web sites.
 
5 Star Rating  "Not for LaTeX beginners, great resource for experts"2008-01-25
- Reviewed By Andreas from New Hampshire, USA
An up-to-date reference for experienced LaTeX users. This book does NOT contain an introduction to LaTeX. Rather, it assumes that the reader has a working LaTeX system and has written some documents before. The value of the book lies in its breadth of coverage. There is a solution for just about any LaTeX problem I can think of. Mostly, the solutions consist of a recommendation for some third-party LaTeX package (style file) and a short review of its use. But the book also covers some quite esoteric issues in-depth. For example, it contains the only introduction to BiBTeX style file programming that I'm aware of.

An indispensable resource for serious LaTeX writing for those with high standards for their typesetting.
 
5 Star Rating  "The Latex Book to Buy"2008-01-24
- Reviewed By Eric Methot from Bursins, Switzerland
If you are going to buy one book on latex this is the one. It covers all the basics of document typesetting with latex. I actually own the first edition of the book but of course, you should always get the latest one. In the book there are sections to cover the following topics:

- Setting-up single or multi-column layouts
- Typesetting basic headings and text
- Creating tables using either the "tabular" or the "array" packages
- How to have tables span multiple pages
- Working with floating figures
- How to typeset beautiful math formulas
- Handling accented characters
- Basic pictures and graphics import
- Installing new fonts
- Creating indexes
- Adding tables of contents and tables of figures
- Adding good looking bibliographies with Bibtex

Lots of material is covered. Though there is overlap I also think that the book by Leslie Lamport is a good complement to this book. Leslies book is shorter, more to the point and perhaps a better introduction to latex than this one. But on the down side it covers less material. This is why I consider this book to be the one to get if you get only one.
