Please excuse me if this is too common a question; I did not find any FAQ
for this group (is there one?).  How would a low budget novice best learn
more about SGML?  What books or cheap/free software would you reccommend?
(PC based or portable).

In a local technical bookstore there are 3 books (from memory, imperfect):
SGML Handbook/Goldfarb $95!! looks good
Practical SGML ($45)
SGML author's guide (or similar, white) $33

Any reviews or pointers would be appreciated.  FTP documents or software
would also be great.  Thanks!

(Um, all I know is from an article in Byte this year, plus browsing in the
bookstore; sounds interesting given my interest in structured text.)
