Real World Postscript (the orange book) has a lot of useful stuff in it.
I would recommend getting it.  It covers fonts, page layouts, development
of graphics designs.  It contains articles by several good programmers.
Stephen F. Roth is the editor, Addison Welsey is the publisher, the
ISBN is 0-201-06663-7.  It also covers color.

Also get the Green book.  It is a good book on programming philosophy.

Cheers
