Hi Dale,
I recently started using LaTeX too. Once you are past the initial
learning curve, you will really like it. You may want to take a look at
"The LaTeX Companion" by Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin. I find it
covers a lot of additional ground that Lamport's book only touches on.
I look at these two books as the LaTeX bibles. ;-) Another handy place
to look is the LaTeX info files. They are a good concise reference.
The closest I got to the Local Guide, was the /usr/doc/latex/usrguide.tex
file.
Best regards,
Nick
