A Complete User's Guide to Computer Typesetting with TeX
Now, 35 years after the first edition, the leading worldwide experts on these systems have spent several months inspecting every page thoroughly. We believe that every "i" has been properly dotted, every "t" has been properly crossed, and every bug has been properly exterminated. Here is the definitive guide to the use of TeX, written by the system's creator, Donald E. Knuth. TeX represents the state-of-the-art in computer typesetting. It is particularly valuable where the document, article, or book to be produced contains a lot of mathematics, and where the user is concerned about typographic quality. TeX software offers both writers and publishers the opportunity to produce technical text of all kinds, in an attractive form, with the speed and efficiency of a computer system. Novice and expert users alike will gain from The TeXbook the level of information they seek. Knuth warns newcomers away from more difficult areas, while he entices experienced users with new challenges. The novice need not learn much about TeX to prepare a simple manuscript with it. But for the preparation of more complex documents, The TeXbook contains all the detail required. Knuth's familiar wit, and illustrations specially drawn by Duane Bibby, add a light touch to an unusually readable software manual. The TeXbook is the first in a five-volume series on Computers and Typesetting, all authored by Knuth. The TeXbook is also available in softcover.Details

Black & blue laminated boards, gilt & white titles & decorations, x, 483 pp, cartoons, examples, tables, index. DJ in Brodart archival cover. According Knuth, "Insiders pronounce the X of TeX as a Greek chi, not as an 'x', so that TeX rhymes with the word blecchhh. ... When you say it correctly to your computer, the terminal may become slightly moist." Along with precision and succinctness, humor is a hallmark of Knuth's style, although much of the humor is funny only to computer nerds. This book describes how to use the TeX Version 3.0 computer typesetting system, which is designed specifically to deal with the complexities of mathematical typesetting. Shipping weight 3 lbs.. 10th ptg, revised. . Fine/Fine. Illus. by Duane Bibby. 24 X 19 cm.
