I've got to learn Nroff/Troff in a hurry, and I find the Nroff/Troff
User's Manual highly unenlightening.  Does anyone know of a book out
there that gives a fuller explanation of the subject?  Maybe with some
good, clear examples?  I've gone through everything in the UNIX User's
Manual Supplementary Documents, and right now I feel like I'm wading
in very deep water.  The only other word processing type systems I'm
familiar with are things like WordStar and WordPerfect--not
anything like typesetting.  Maybe a good book on typesetting would
help????

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
