I too am new to reading this news group and would like to know
where the FAQ is.

The book I use is

LaTex A document Preparation System User's Guide & Reference.
By. Leslie Lamport
Addison-Wesley Pub. Co.  ISBN 0-201-15790-X

It seems to cover all the basics and is fairly easy to follow.
It is always within arms reach. I find it sufficient for most
of my basic questions.
