      beginners, and covers a lot of material at the end for experts.
      It was written before level 2 PostScript. In the later half of

      Guide to developing programming techniques and to learning 
      how to use the PostScript tool kit. In this book you can find 
      some useful techniques even if you think of yourself as an 
      expert PS programmer. It overlaps very little with existing 
      material. You can find there numerous practical examples in all 
      areas of PS language programming, including the Display PS 
      system. In this volume you will also find: (a) never-before-
      published information on the PS language (b) useful algorithms 
      for loops, conditionals, and I/O (c) detailed coverage of files, 
      strings, and dictionaries (d) simple and elegant programming 
      techniques 
 
      The books comes recommended by many. There are also exercises 
      after each Chapter with the results at the end of the book. You 
      can really find examples how to define new useful operators or 
      procedures which you cannot find in the Adobe books.
