Joy of Tex: A Gourmet Guide to Typesetting With the Ams-Tex Macro Package

Rating:
Summary: Terrific Source for Learning AMS-TeX
Review: Spivak's appealing and original book makes learning TeX much more fun than it really should be! If you are already familiar with some flavor of TeX, this is a great book for becoming proficient with AMS-TeX quickly. If not, then there is enough introductory material to make you familiar with the basics of TeX typesetting first. To me AMS-TeX is preferrable to LaTeX (commands are more suggestive and easier to use) and this book is the best AMS-TeX handbook available.
