Photocopy it? 

Seriously, doesn't every table of contents look interesting?
Not to mention backside blurb, which I know from experience
is not written by the author. I have quite a collection of
TeX books on my shelf (does anyone know A Guide To LaTeX
by Helmut Kopka and Patrick Daly? just out) and from their
backcover blurb each and every one is the ultimate TeX book.
