A fair book...not for learning TeX though

This book isn't meant for learning TeX from. If you're buying this book, then you should already be familiar with TeX, and are probably looking for ways to improve or add to your current TeX environment. The book covers a great many topics, but doesn't go into any great deal in any of them. Covers some of the more popular macro packages available, and has a good section on fonts and a decent introduction on how to do simple graphics in TeX/LaTeX. Overall, a nice book for the TeX library, but not an essential. A good book for the beginner TeX user, but advanced users probably won't get much out of it.
