I have seen a couple of |Addison-Wesley catalogs and the book appears sometimes as ``Thinking |in PostScript'' and sometimes as ``The Art...''. | Was this a temporary title that was abandoned or what ? | |Curious people want to know... Yes, it's the same book. Addison-Wesley picked the title(s), and it changed somewhere along the way. The one that actually got published is "Thinking in PostScript". Since most books end up on the shelf and never read, I prefer "Thinking in PostScript"; it looks good on your shelf :-) A-W just sent me a copy of the cover of the book, which means that it's in the final stages. They said that I should get some books within a week or so, and that they should be in bookstores by the end of October or early November. The cover is mostly white, with a blue stripe across the top, and a lot of multiply-colored letters tumbling around on the cover (having little or nothing to do with what the book's about, naturally :-). It will be interesting to see how successful people are at coming up with a color to call it :-) Glenn -- Glenn Reid RightBrain Software glenn@heaven.woodside.ca.us PostScript/NeXT developers ..{adobe,next}!heaven!glenn 415-851-1785
