- If you guys are talking about the TeXbook, don't bother. Printing
- a copy of this would be highly illegal and unethical. It is available
- for you to compare with a store-bought copy of the TeXbook.
-
- If you just want some information to get you started, use archie to
- search for:
- essential "Essential LaTeX"
-
- There are some other free guides available. Look on shsu.edu or
- rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de.
