Summary: TEXbook alternatives


	We are in the process of evaluating two different pc implementations
of TEX as an alternative to our existing technical word processing system.
We like the packages but there is a notable lack of documentation with these
packages aimed at the novice.  We have been using the TEXbook to get started
but we feel that it is really intended as a reference and is not a good
choice for beginners.  Are there any good books, other than the TEXbook, LaTEX
book etc.,  aimed at introducing beginners to TEX without delving to deeply 
into all of TEX's capabilities?  We feel that we need to have such a book
available if TEX is ever going to be widely used here.


Many thanks,

Allen Turner
