Just put my twopenoth in.  Has anyone mentioned LyX yet? I've never used it 
myself but it supposed to provide a GUI frontend to Latex. 

Personally, I find Latex and emacs (using the auctex package for emacs) the 
best combination.  On the subject of latex books Lamport's book is much 
recommended but is absolutely awful in my opinion. (I think he must sit on a 
lot of funding committee's and noone wants to offend him.) Kopka and Daly's 
'A Guide to Latex' is much better.
