Two important new books

["Nelson H. F. Beebe" <beebe@math.utah.edu>]

Last night, I bought two important new books which have just appeared
at bookstores in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA:

The preface to the first begins:

    This books brings together more than 30 articles nad notes that I
    have written about the subject of digital typography, popularly
    called ``desktop publishing''.  ... I guess I must have ink in my
    veins.

@String{pub-CSLI                = "CSLI Publications"}
@String{pub-CSLI:adr            = "Stanford, CA, USA"}

@Book{Knuth:1999:DT,
  author =       "Donald E. Knuth",
  title =        "Digital Typography",
  publisher =    pub-CSLI,
  address =      pub-CSLI:adr,
  pages =        "xvi + 685",
  year =         "1999",
  ISBN =         "1-57586-011-2 (cloth), 1-57586-010-4 (paperback)",
  LCCN =         "Z249.3.K59 1998",
  bibdate =      "Sat May 08 07:52:35 1999",
  price =        "US\$29.95",
  acknowledgement = ack-nhfb,
}

The second book is the long-awaited definition of PostScript Language
Level 3.  While previous editions of several Adobe PostScript books
had a distinctive spine, with red at the top, and white at the bottom,
this new one unfortunately has a black spine, with red and white
lettering, making it harder to spot on a bookshelf.  The cover retains
the old red/white style.

Although Apple and Xante have been shipping printers with Level 3
support for more than two years, Hewlett-Packard (visit them at
http://www.hp.com/go/printers) only in the last few months, with the
new HP Color LaserJet 8500, offers such support, and the number two
printer vendor, Lexmark, has yet to do so.

@String{pub-AW                  = "Ad{\-d}i{\-s}on-Wes{\-l}ey"}
@String{pub-AW:adr              = "Reading, MA, USA"}

@Book{Adobe:1999:PLR,
  author =       "{Adobe Systems Incorporated}",
  title =        "{PostScript} Language Reference",
  publisher =    pub-AW,
  address =      pub-AW:adr,
  edition =      "Third",
  pages =        "xii + 897",
  year =         "1999",
  ISBN =         "0-201-37922-8",
  LCCN =         "QA76.73.P67 P67 1999",
  bibdate =      "Sat May 08 07:43:15 1999",
  price =        "US\$49.95, CDN\$74.95",
  acknowledgement = ack-nhfb,
}
