"Thinking in PostScript(R)"
 Glenn C. Reid
 Addison-Wesley Publishing Company
 
 This book was written by the author of the Adobe Systems
 "green" book, PostScript Language Program Design.  The new
 book, Thinking in PostScript, takes a fresh approach to
 the PostScript Language.  It is intended for audiences at
 all levels, from the beginner to the most advanced, but
 the target is probably the reader who is a very competent
 C programmer but has not had much of a chance to work with
 PostScript.
 
 The book covers many areas that have not been written about
 before, including in-depth treatment of fundamental
 programming concepts like loops, conditionals, data structures,
 and file I/O.  For example, there is an entire chapter
 devoted to the writing conditionals with the "ifelse" statement.

 This book stems from five years of experience with PostScript
 programming by the author, who has worked for both Adobe Systems
 and NeXT, Inc.  The author observed that there is plenty of
 information available to help you do very specific things with
 PostScript (like render a gray-scale image), but very little
 information about the mechanics of getting your program to work.
 
 There are Exercises at the end of each chapter to test your
 skills, which also make the book an excellent choice for
 teaching the PostScript language.
 
 Available probably in October from Addison-Wesley or from
 the book store near you.
