I haven't seen anybody mention that the metafont source for the Concrete fonts is available in the tex82/MFcontrib/metafonts/concrete directory of the UnixTeX distribution. Another thing... I'm certainly no typesetting expert, but the Concrete fonts seem (to me) to look just a little bit too heavy to exactly match with the Euler mathematics fonts. (Other than that, I agree that they are attractive.) Comments, anyone? Another thing, just out of curiousity... has anybody actually read this book without having it as a class text?
