I found a very good book at the USENIX at Denver last week.
This book fills the hole where a "good" Text Processing Guide should be
in standard UNIX documentation.

It covers nroff and (di)troff, pic, eqn, tbl, and a whole lot more.
It's not too dry and contains lots of examples.

My cost was about $32.00
