LaTeX Explained is a comprehensive exploration of latex that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 7 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 2's discussion of editing is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that the pacing could be better, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

While LaTeX Explained makes several valuable points about editing, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of scripting seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to editing. That said, the sections on editing are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in editing, this could be a truly outstanding work.
