Postscript Language Reference 3rd edition is the most recent incarnation of the "Postscript Red Book"-bible for the Postscript Language. It updates the second edition with the LanguageLevel 3 extensions to postscript and includes a PDF version of the book on CDROM. This most recent version of the Red Book continues the role of its earlier editions, it provides an authoritative reference for those writing raw postscript or developing postscript interpreters or filters. It makes no effort to explain how to put the language features together to describe a document or program, it just describes the language and its features in exacting detail. The third edition follows the same layout of the second, with the addition of a new chapter on device control and the removal of the chapter on display postscript. Chapters 1 through 7 describe the philosophy of the Postscript language, fonts, graphics features, etc., but in the long run perhaps the most useful section of the book is Chapter 8. Chapter 8 provides an operator by operator description of the Postscript language. From '[' to 'yshow' each operator is described in minute detail. As the cover advertises, this is the definitive resource for postscript programmers. Postscript Language Reference third edition does just what it says it will do. The only concern I have with the book is that the spine is no longer red, and thus does not stand out the way the first (or to a lesser extent the second) edition of the book does on my shelf.
