- protomyth 6y agoThis was such an amazing book. I had bought the paper copy and the page where they showed how to put text on a circle was amazing. It is so well written and easy to follow.
- tpmx 6y agoReading it for the first time now, I get sort of the same kind of feeling that I got when I first read the K&R C book. Was there a more affordable way of running PostScript code back then than buying a (1985) $6,995 Apple Laser Printer?
