Message-ID: <58530@sun.uucp> Date: 30 Jun 88 15:42:12 GMT Sender: news@sun.uucp Distribution: comp Lines: 24 Approved: desktop-request%plaid@sun.com Arun Chandra asks: Does anybody know of the book: The Illustrated Handbook of Desktop Publishing and Typesetting by Kleper I just found it advertised in a commercial catalog, and would like to get it if it's worthwhile (it costs $23.95). This book is very (uh) comprehensive. It's 770 pages, including the index. There are just tons of data about all sorts of systems. Being a died-in-the-wool troff person myself, I found the book surprising in that it doesn't mention troff, tbl, eqn, or pic. It devotes less than two pages to TeX, and two paragraphs to Scribe. Other than those small omissions, the book covers a lot of stuff. ..........
