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
