We've had an order for Inside LaserWriter outstanding to Apple (through Computerland, sigh, don't ask) for several months, and always get the answer that it's out of stock. I've started wondering -- what additional information is in Inside LW that isn't in the LW Appendix in the paperback PostScript book? Can anyone tell me? Or should we just cancel the order and buy the PostScript book (we're using the pre-release 3-ring binder version now.) Could someone tell me the ISBN of the PostScript book (it's not in the local stores)? Thanks, chris ---------- [[Editor's note: I have the ISBN as follows: PostScript Language Reference Manual 1-201-10174-2 $22.95 PostScript Language Tutorial and Cookbook 1-201-10179-3 $16.95 Author on both is Adobe Systems Inc. --Rick ]]

We made the mistake of buying both the Apple and the Adobe PostScript books. All additional information in the Apple book is related to the Macintosh and the AppleTalk network. If you are not using the LW in this environment, cancel your order and save your money! If you are using a Mac with the LW, it may be worthwhile as it provides screen fonts (on disk) and a little software for the Mac that may be valuable. (We don't use our LW with a Mac network so I don't know for sure.) I've been told that the Addison-Wesley publications may have additional information but I don't know for sure. Glen -------
