<title>The SGML Primer. SoftQuad's Quick Reference Guide to the Essentials
of the Standard: The SGML Needed for Reading a DTD and Marked-up Documents
and Discussing them Reasonably</>.  Version 2.0  Toronto: SoftQuad Inc.,
May 1991.  36 pages.   Available from SoftQuad Inc., 720 Spadina Avenue,
Toronto, CANADA M5S 2T9; Tel: +1 (416) 963-8337; FAX: +1 (416) 963-9575. 
Price prepaid: $10.00 (ten dollars).

The booklet offers a light-hearted and highly readable introduction to the
essentials of SGML.  Contains some surprising examples, including a DTD
for "<! -- Lunch at the Steakhouse -->,"  demonstrating that SGML is not
just for structuring formal documents, but for structuring information.
I shall defer to the SGML experts for critical review.  Enjoyable reading,
and even your boss might understand SGML for the first time.
