[OS X TeX] Books?

[Juan Manuel Palacios]

	Thanks to everybody who replied so fast and gave me their insights 
and recommendations, very much appreciated! I was recommended "The not 
so short guide to LaTeX2e" twice and when I downloaded it I realized I 
already had it. Between Lamport's and Kopka's books the consensus seems 
to be in favor of Kopka, which is what I had originally thought, so I 
will stick to my already made decision.

	Just one question to you Andreas, if I may:

	What three volumes? Everywhere I've looked I've seen Kopka's book 
as a one tome publication. Take Amazon, for example, if you look for 
Latex publications there you'll see Kopka's book as a single volume, no 
more tomes. Where could I check this out? Is the one sold at Amazon the 
first tome?

	Thank you all again for your time and help. Sincerely,...
