Synopsis:

Introduces the Postscript programming language, describes the imaging model, and discusses emulators, page design, program structure, scanned images, file merging, and error handling.

From the Author: Industrial-Strength PostScript
This book was written for hardcore programmers who have a job to do. It is terse and to the point, and filled with examples that are intended to be written well enough to lift right out of the book and put into production code.

This book has been reprinted at least 13 times since first written in 1988, and has never been revised. It's still very useful and accurate, I think, almost 10 years after being written in the fast-paced world of electronic publishing and computers.

I typed in a long interview under my other book, "Thinking in PostScript", which is now out of print. I'm too lazy to type it all in again, so go see that book if you want to read it.
