Latex for Scientists and Engineers by David J. Buerger. At first glance this book may appear outdated, having been published in 1990 but it's surprisingly relevant today. As someone who frequently uses LaTex for my research papers and presentations, I've found that the fundamental principles for writing equations in LaTex have remained unchanged over the years. I appreciate LaTex for its ability to beautifully typeset physics equations. While you can easily find information about LaTex online these days, this book still offers valuable insights. Personally, I have a preference for physical books whenever possible. LaTexBeamer >= Powerpoint

If you enjoy using LaTeX, this is a great resource to have. Though other books are likely more current, this has a great list of the most useful parameters, and even a graphic for page layout commands and their effects. Loving crafted in LaTeX, it is an example of the good work LatEX has been able to produce for decades.
