In response to query re: The Illustrated Handbook of Desktop Publishing
and Typesetting by Kleper

According to a friend who has taught typography and (some) ad
composition art at Art Center of Pasadena:

	'this is the best book on the subject/s' 'if there is only one
	book you should read this year on desktop publishing, it's this one'

He's been in the business for years and highly recommends this book.
Typesetting and composition with type are his specialities.  My guess
is that those software DTP packages which are somewhere between word
processing and real desktop publishing would probably get short shrift
in a book which touts itself as being a book on typesetting.  And that
the software which allows individual placement of letters, custom sizes
in fonts and less common fonts would be closer to the kinds of
applications that an  "electronic typesetter"  would want to see these
days.  Hence there would be little mention of the less sophisticated,
non-WYSIWYG software packages.
