How does "LaTeX Explained" compare to other resources?

I'm considering getting "LaTeX Explained" but wanted to hear from those who have read it. How does it compare to other books or online courses on latex?

Best practices for scripting?

I'm working on a project that involves editing and looking for advice on best practices. Has anyone read "LaTeX Explained" and can recommend specific chapters?

The diagrams in chapter 4 of LaTeX Explained make complex concepts much easier to understand.

The author really knows their stuff. LaTeX Explained is now my go-to reference.
