I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with LaTeX Explained, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains latex made everything click for me. I've been struggling with scripting for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about scripting - it reminded me so much of my own experience with scripting. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

As a scholar in latex, I found LaTeX Explained to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to latex is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of latex, which offers a compelling framework for understanding latex. While some may argue that editing, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about latex.

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 6 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 3's discussion of latex 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 more primary sources would strengthen the argument, 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 latex, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of scripting seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to latex. That said, the sections on scripting are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in latex, this could be a truly outstanding work.
