Who doesn't own the third edition of the LaTeX Companion book?

Hmm, I guess most people. Just like TAOC, everybody talk about it and even those who buy it let it rot on a shelve.

I remember in university one of the professor coming to me during my master asking how did I achieved this fancy stuff in my report. Dude I just red the book, lol. I didn't manage to validate my M2 though, double lol. :D

Well, it's a reference book, not a tutorial. You "let it rot on a shelve" until that moment when you need to achieve a specific outcome in your LaTeX code and then check out the book.
