The POSTSCRIPT Language Reference Manual (ISBN 0-201-10174-2, $22.95, 336
pages, illustrated) and the POSTSCRIPT Language Tutorial and Cookbook
(ISBN 0-201-10179-3,  $16.95, 256 pages, illustrated) are published by
Addison-Wesley Publishing Company of Reading, Mass.

The POSTSCRIPT Language Reference Manual is the complete definitive  reference
guide to the POSTSCRIPT language. It begins with a discussion of the basic 
ideas that underlie POSTSCRIPT, followed by comprehensive presentations of the 
language and its graphics and font facilities. The  precise semantics of every 
POSTSCRIPT operator is detailed in a convenient dictionary-like format. The 
manual concludes with four appendices on the standard fonts, implementation 
limits, structuring conventions, and the Apple(R) LaserWriter(R).

The POSTSCRIPT Language Tutorial and Cookbook provides a thorough, clearly
written guide to POSTSCRIPT that outlines the features and capabilities of the
language and shows practical ways to create useful POSTSCRIPT programs. Using
annotated examples and short programs, the tutorial provides a step-by-step
guided tour of POSTSCRIPT, highlighting those qualities that make it such a 
unique and powerful language.The  cookbook offers a collection of some of the 
most useful techniques and procedures available to POSTSCRIPT programmers.
