They are -- frequently referenced by the color of the cover, ie the RED BOOK or the -- BLUE book. Both are soft cover books of about 250-300 pages each. These are: -- -- PostScript: Language Reference Manual by Adobe Systems Inc (RED BOOK) -- -- PostScript: Language Tutorial & cookbook by Adobe Systems Inc (BLUE BOOK) -- (Addison-Wesley) - -There is a third volume out, the GREEN book, that has extensive and detailed -programming examples. It talks about program structure more than commands. I have found _Real World Postscript_ edited by Stephen Roth from Addison-Wesley to be pretty useful. It is a collection of "tutorials" by professionals who use PostScript in their work. There are some fairly advanced topics covered that you probably won't find anywhere else.
