I just started using LaTeX this past year and now use it for all of my documents. I got started with a wonderful free guide called "A (Not So) Short Introduction to LaTeX2e." It can be downloaded from a number of sites, but here is one:

It was necessary to buy "The LaTeX companion" when I wanted to do some more advanced math formulae and figures, but it is actually a very difficult read. Buy the way: I prefer to TeX in Emacs because it has a built in LaTeX mode. Good luck!

hey all,

can anyone recommend a good latex tutorial or book? I've never really done
any work with it, but I'll be writing a paper in the next couple of weeks that needs to be formated for print.

thanks,
-Gabe
