The "TeX Reference Manual" is the first comprehensivereference manual written by a programmer for programmers. It containsreference pages for each of TeX's 325 primitive control sequences.Over 80% of its reference pages contain examples that range fromsimple to challenging. Each example is typeset verbatim in a stylewhich is easy to read and experiment with. "TeX Reference Manual"also just typesets the example, so you can see what it makes, andexplains how the example works. The description on each primitive'sreference page is an annotated discussion of The TeXbook's treatmentof the primitive. That means a TeX user will find it natural to moveback and forth between the two books. One of "TeX ReferenceManual"'s innovative features is families. They simplify the searchfor the primitive which performs a particular task."TeX Reference Manual" has appendices which provide acomprehensive discussion of: verbatim material, PostScript fonts, andtwo-column material. In particular, one word describes its fontmacros, elegant.The "TeX Reference Manual" is an invaluable tool for both theexperienced and new users of TeX.
