I'm sure this question has been asked & answered many times on this
newsgroup, but since I don't usually read this newsgroup, I'm going to
ask it anyway...

I'm looking for a good book to learn SGML.  I want to learn enough to be
able to read/write SGML syntax.  I'm not looking for any particular use
(application?) of SGML, I just want to learn the syntax.

The one book I already have is "SGML: An Author's Guide to the
Standardized General Markup language" by Bryan.  I hope there's
something better than that available (IMHO, this book sucks badly).

Please e-mail responses to me (jxr@thumper.bellcore.com) as I don't
normally read this newsgroup.
