LaTeX

Somehow people here seem to consider me a LaTeX expert. I have no idea how they got that idea... I pretty much bumble my way through with my LaTeX book by my side. However, there are at least two people that come to me with questions. I've tried telling them that my advior is the LaTeX genius. Perhaps they're too intimidated to bother a professor with their questions. (Although my advisor is totally approachable.)

I bring this up because one of those people just came into my office and asked me what the title of the yellow LaTeX book is. (He said there's three main books, and he wants to know the title of the yellow one. I just have the blue one.) I suggested searching on Amazon for a yellow coloured LaTeX book, but apparently the second edition is out, and has a different cover.

Some helpful soul in the hallway said they think it has a German author.

I hope he finds the book he's looking for.

Hope he didn't just use google search on "yellow LaTeX", tons of porn sites would come up, LOL. I use the Leslie Lamport version. That's your blue book, yes?
