They are:

Red---Postscript language reference manual, Addison Wesley, isbn0-201-10174-2
Blue--Postscript language tutorial and cookbook "   "  isbn 0-201-10179-3
Green-Postscript language program design        "   "  isbn 0-201-14396-8
Orange- Real World Postscript.  Addison Wesley  isbn 0-201-06663-7

Try you local Bookstop, B.Dalton, Walden, or probably any other good book
seller.  They can order them.  Or, you can support Don Lancaster.  He
stocks them, and sells them mail-order.  Call him at 602-428-4073.
He is most helpful.

Cheers
Woody
P.S.  Read the GREEN book first, with the RED as reference.  Then try some
code from the BLUE, with the RED as reference, and finaly, the Orange.
The orange book presums a knowlege of Postscript, but it is a gold mine
of good information.
