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,
}
