Well, I must say, that I couldn't disagree more. I think that the
Lamport book is very well written, with amusing texts in the examples,
about gnus, gnats and armadillo's. I wish that more handbooks were
written like the Lamport book. When I started with LaTeX long ago,
I read the first three chapters, and could then easily start. The book
seems terse because it is concise, but it is the conciseness that
helps you to make a quick start.
