I have a simple question: In what way does this book help you to become
a real wizard?  I've seen the book, and was amazed that someone would
try to publish such a book, and now I am amazed that someone would so
highly recommend it.

It seems to me that since all of the new information in the book may be
completely different not only from printer to printer, but in the next
version of the same printer, that all Inside PostScript can really do is
fill your head with a lot of trivia about a particular version of a
particular printer.

It should be called "Inside Version <foo> of Printer <bar>"

I don't mind this to be a flame; I really would like to know in what way
you will use this book.
