Bar none, my favorite intro-to-PostScript book is: Learning PostScript, A Visual Approach Ross Smith ISBN# 0-938-151-12-6 $22.95 PeachPit Press 1085 Keith Ave Berkeley, CA 94708 415 527 8555 415 524 9775 (fax) 800 283 9444 The book consists of a page of PostScript graphics faced by a page which contains the PostScript code necessary to generate the image. The book nicely proceeds from the simple to the sublime, and embodies an interactive learning technique. I heartily recommend it. -- "Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
