Title: pedestrian - good detail but poor vision and lousy read
Product review: The first time I've ever returned a book that I bought from Amazon. I should learn to avoid books that try to mingle two hot topics - they are usually not the best in either. It reads like a tape recording of someone trying to teach an avid beginner - cinema verite - step by step, key by key. With occassional lapses into first person naratives, on such subjects as the trials and tribulations of his early efforts to download and use Latex. If you are looking for a detailedhand-holding lesson (especially if you are trying to work with Emacs) this book might be exactly what you are looking for. Not me. I look good reads, conceptual overviews, sweeping grasp of the vision. This book was way too boring for me.
