Griffiths D.F. Learning LaTeX

This book is an excellent introductory text for anyone using LaTeX for the first time. Especially those writing mathematical papers or theses. It describes and gives examples of the most regularly used constructions but keeps the whole process simple. It is laid out in an excellent progression through the steps involved in the preparation of a LaTeX document. The examples given clearly illustrate the points which the authors want to make.
The book is aimed squarely at beginners to LaTeX who wish to learn the basics with a minimum of fuss. It's always clear and to the point. The many examples are often amusing. I like this little book a lot.
