A couple of books worthy of note:

   i) Holzgang, David, "Understanding Postscript Programing", Sybex Inc. 
       Alameda, Calif., 1987, ISBN 0-89588-396-1
  ii) Roth, Stephen, F., Editor, "Real World Postscript", Addison Wesley,
       1988, ISBN 0-201-06663-7 $22.95(U.S.)


Plus the " favorite standby's":

   i) Adobe Systems Incorporated, "Postscript Language Program Design",
       (The Green Book), Addison Wesley, 1988, ISBN 0-201-14396-8, $22.95(U.S)
  ii) Adobe Systems Incorporated, "Postscript Language Reference Manual",

 iii) Adobe Systems Incorporated, "Postscript Language Tutorial and Cookbook",
       (The Blue Book), Addison Wesley, 1986, ISBN 0-201-10179-2, $16.95(U.S)

Naturally prices in Canada are higher :-(....
				Hope this helps,
