This book has been sitting on our shelves for a while:

	Word Processing on the UNIX System
	Morris Krieger
	McGraw-Hill, 1985
	ISBN 0-07-035498-7

I haven't ever used it myself, but from the table of contents,
approximately the first half discusses the editor ed (who uses
that for word processing?) and the file system, and the second
half is nroff/troff/-ms/tbl.  No discussion of the other macro
packages, or eqn.
