Beginners should start with `Learning PostScript -- A
Visual Approach' by Ross Smith, Peachpit Press, and then go
on to read the `PostScript Language Tutorial And Cookbook'
(the `Blue Book') by Adobe Systems.
Having read those books, you'd be an intermediate reader,
who should read `Real World PostScript' by Stephen Roth,
alongside Intermediate Readers should also read `PostScript
Language Program Design' by Glenn Reid.
Finally, to do `serious PostScript programming' you should have the
PostScript Language Reference Manual, published by Adobe Systems
(the `Red Book') available. Also, `Graphic Design With PostScript'
by Gerard Kunkel has a lot of good stuff about color.
That's my three ha'pence worth.
