A Gentle Introduction to TEX: A Manual for Self-study
"First the bad news: TEX is a large and complicated program that goes to extraordinary
lengths to produce attractive typeset material. This very complication can cause unexpected things to happen at times. Now the good news: straightforward text is very easy to typeset using TEX. So it’s possible to start with easier text and work up to more complicated situations.
The purpose of this manual is to start from the very beginning and to move towards
these more complicated situations. No previous knowledge of TEX is assumed. By proceeding a section at a time, greater varieties of text can be produced."
