• TeX Primitive Control Sequences. Useful for writing .sty files.
• TeX Frequently Asked Questions

Graphics

• A graphics introduction - Using Imported Graphics in LaTeX2e
• XY-pic User's Guide. Powerful and complex package for typesetting graphs and diagrams.

Source Listing

• The Listings Package. Powerful source code listing.

References and citing

• The BibTeX Format (includes hyperlinked list of BibTeX entry types)
• Reference sheet for natbib usage. An excellent bibliography style.

Editing

• Vim. An excellent GUI/console based editor.
• Vim's latex-suite. An extensive addition to support efficient editing of LaTeX files.

Useful books

I own a copy of the The LaTeX companion. Definitely not the most accessible book for beginners, but immensely useful when you come to more complex work.

Of late I have found need to add The LaTeX Graphics Companion to my collection.
