Typesetting Tables with LaTeX Illustrated Edition

Lamport's LaTeX is where you should start with tables. You can go far with simple tables but if you are doing something unusual, I recommend Voss, who provides many helpful examples. Crib, steal, copy, modify; its so much easier to do that than create a not-so-simple all by yourself. This clearly is a specialists book, but if you have unusual tables, it greatly simplifies the learning/development curve

I am fussy about typesetting and got lots of good ideas from this book. Would buy again.

Dedicated book on LaTeX typesetting tables which is rare to find in a bookstore. Undoubtedly I will recommend this book.
