[comp.lang.postscript] PostScript manual

bchen@esvax.berkeley.edu (Benjamin Chen) (06/17/88)

     I'm just about to enter the PostScript world.  Can someone recommend
a good comprehensive manual on PostScript?  Better yet, what's the
"standard" manual?

	Thanks, in advance,

I have the PS Tutorial and the PS Ref. Manual, but I have not
been able to get a hold of the PS Program Design book.  I'm
sure I'll get it eventually, but in the mean time I'm curious if
it is going to shead much light on PS programming, or if it's
a ho hum book.
