I never thought Lamport's first edition was any good. This edition for latex2e is worse. Many of latex2e's additions are treated poorly (e.g. the new font mechanism).
Lamport wrote the first book on latex, and even though it wasn't a great book, it had the advantage of being both the first and the authoritative guide. As far as latex2e is concerned, Lamport ignores so many new developments, so many new issues that this book seems like a quick hack of the first edition. No serious treatment of the new font mechanism, no mention of some of the important packages that now exist for latex, no treatment of foreign languages, superficial treatment of graphics, and no discussion of advanced math formatting issues.
The book probably deserves two stars but gets only one because of the gall of re-packaging and selling something that's so very close to the first edition.
Don't waste your money on it (I got my copy as a gift, and will gladly pass it on to the first person that sends me a self-addressed, stamped envelope). If you need a good book on latex2e, consider the Latex Companion.

Leslie Lamport's second edition of the Latex manual is helpful, concise, and puts ideas first; it's a great book for the TeX beginner. All essentially topics are covered quickly, in an engaging style.
However, it has two drawbacks. First, the reference section is cryptic and confusing; I recommend keeping the Latex Companion handy for detailed explanations and examples.
Second, too many useful things are left unsaid. For instance, nowhere in this book is it stated that \to is a built-in abbreviation for the clumsy command \rightarrow (the arrow in A -> B); most users waste time making their own abbreviation, such as \ra. But \to is right there in the Latex source, it's simply not documented in this manual. The MakeIndex appendix explains the \index command in detail, but omits to mention the \glossary command (you'll find it in paragraph C.11.5 of the reference section, if you're desperate). The all-important business of add-on "packages", which allow endless customizations of the standard Latex styles, is dealt with in only one or two pages. And so on...
The manual doesn't tell the reader that its style conventions are not obligatory. Thus, curly brackets are pervasive: to type a subscripted list of variables, the book suggests $x_{1},\ldots,x_{n}$. It takes quite a while for the beginner to realize that $x_1,\dots,x_n$ works just as well (and gives the same result). A simple explanation of what is an "input token" would save users a lot of time and trouble.
Final answer? You'll need this book: it's a good book, and it's authorative, correct and concise. But if you need to know more than the basics, make sure you also have the Latex Companion.

I thought I hated LaTeX - in truth, I hated this book. This book gets you started and then frustrates you. I believe the author tried to be concise and cut too much. After struggling with this book for way too long, I bought Kopka and Daly's "A Guide to LaTeX", which a great book; it has a good introduction for beginners and serves as a great reference for experts. Skip the pain I went through and just get Kopka and Daly.

It was Latex, when we had no Word
LATEX, or TEX before, was the main way to create propper looking printed papers at the universities. Many of the LATEX users have since moved to Microsoft Word (with Endnotes). Lesen Sie weiter...

A useful help
Fantastic. Enlightning and absolutely clear. It gave me all the information I wasn't able to find in other books. A "must" for LaTeX composers.

Useful, but not enough
LaTeX is a powerful typesetting program, and you need a book to use it (unlike Word). Lamport's book is not a bad choice, but it's not great either. Lesen Sie weiter...

A reference by default
For a book about typesetting, it is really ugly, as most of the books that have been designed with LaTeX I guess. Lesen Sie weiter...

Inane layout of subjects; extremely difficult to use.
Unfortunately, poor organization of information and subjects in this book defeated its purpose as a utilitarian reference for LaTeX. Try Kopka's book instead.

You'll need it, but ...
We TeX-heads (with apologies to Knuth that I didn't say TeXnicians) should all bow to Lamport for his LaTeX package, a masterpiece of macro programming and design. Lesen Sie weiter...

Good book to have beside your LaTeX
If you are beginner (like me) in LaTeX, this book is good source of information. However, bear in mind that it is cross-linked a lot, so some reading before getting your teeth in... Lesen Sie weiter...
