I tend to agree with Konrad. I happily wrote my dissertation in LyX and only stumbled into LaTeX on an as-needed basis, primarily using the Koma-script documentation, package documentation at CTAN, and the LyX mailing list. I quite frankly don't even know the difference between LaTeX and TeX. But, maybe I SHOULD have looked at Steve's book... will do so now.
