1 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Zhe Hurecommended by ConTeXt developer.good companion book to Donald Knuths TeX Book.8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. A good companion to other good books on TeX.By John CulletonThis book is praised by among others the TeX master Hans Hagen. I find it a worthy addition to my shelf of TeX books; ranking just below "TeX for the Impatient" and more approachable than "TeX by Topic" which is written for a more experienced audience. It must be emphasized that this book deals with plain Tex; and not the most popular variant LaTeX. But since I work in plain TeX or Context almost exclusively it is fits my needs well.John CulletonAble Indexers and Typesetters[...]
