\Section{About this document}
The following pages are duplications of the section ``New
Publications'', found in each issue of {\sl \TeX\ and TUG NEWS\/}, the
quarterly newsletter of the \TeX\ Users Group.
The listings are augmented by margin notes indicating reviews which
have subsequently appeared in {\sl TUGboat\/}, TUG's quarterly
journal.
At the end are two pages listing books which had been reviewed in {\sl
TUGboat\/} before {\small TTN} began, as well as a listing of books on
\TeX\ in Russian (which originally appeared in {\small TTN} 3,4:5.
Updates of this file (\verb|ttnpubs|) are posted to {\small CTAN} on a
regular basis:

\item [Claudio Beccari.]
{\sl{\it \LaTeX} --- Guida a un sistema di editoria
elettronica\/}.\marginpar{\TUB\ 13, 2.} Milano: Editore
Ulrico Hoepli Milano, 1991. Pp.\ ix + 399. \isbn\
88-203-1931-4.\nl
$\bullet$
The book is the first and only one in Italian at this
moment. Although it contains an introductory chapter for the
beginner, its main purpose is to give the reader advanced
information on \LaTeX\ (and partially on \TeX) in order to
prepare sophisticated macros, style files, and to make
clever use of fonts.
\item [Arvind Borde.]
{\sl \TeX\ by Example\/}.\marginpar{\TUB\ 13, 4.} New York:
Academic Press, 1991. Pp.\ 169 (paper), US\$19.95.
\isbn\ 0-12-117650-9.\nl
$\bullet$
This book teaches entirely by example. Input and output are
shown side-by-side, allowing users to spot quickly how to
get symbols, how to obtain italics, how to use bold type,
how to start new paragraphs, and so on. The alphabetic
appendix is both an index and a glossary, which
systematically lists all commonly used features of \TeX.
\item [Victor Eijkhout.]
{\sl \TeX\ by Topic: A \TeX nician's
Reference\/}.\marginpar{\TUB\ 13, 2.} Wokingham, \uk:
Addison-Wes\-ley, 1992. Pp.\ viii + 307 (paper),
US\$30.00. \isbn\ 0-201-56882-9.\nl
$\bullet$
{\sl \TeX\ by Topic\/} is a systematic reference manual
designed as a companion to tutorial guides about \TeX.
Not for the novice, it is meant for users with a basic
understanding of \TeX\ who have specific questions, or who
are keen to explore the full potential of this unique
computer typesetting system.
\item [Jane Hahn.]
{\sl{\it \LaTeX} for Everyone\/}.\marginpar{\TUB\ 13, 2.}
Mill Valley: Personal \TeX\ Inc., 1991. Pp.\ xi + 346
(paper), US\$19.95. \isbn\ 0-9631044-0-3.\nl
$\bullet$
{\sl{\it \LaTeX} for Everyone\/} is a tutorial as well as a
reference guide. Written with the beginning user in mind, it
is designed to be easy to read and understand, and contains
examples of all the basic commands. The experienced \LaTeX\
user, however, will also find this book to be a valuable
reference tool.
\item [Raymond Seroul and Silvio Levy.]
{\sl A Beginner's Book of \TeX\/}.\marginpar{\TUB\ 13, 1.}
New York: Springer Verlag, 1991. Pp.\ 283 (paper),
US\$29.95, DM58,--\ts. \isbn\ 0-387-97562-4.\nl
$\bullet$
Seroul and Levy's book is an excellent beginner's text. It
is meant for careful reading, in which case it gives a
surprising amount of detail. The book also has a reference
section. This is an expanded translation of Seroul's book,
{\sl Le petit Livre de \TeX\/} (Paris: InterEditions, 1989).

The volume gathers together the communcations presented at
the colloquium on {\sl Desktop Publishing in Astronomy and

1991, at the Louis Pasteur University.

(index) (paper), US\$29.25. \isbn\ 0-201-54799-6.
$\bullet$
This book is a carefully paced, tutorial introduction for
people first learning the [\TeX] system. Special emphasis is
given to what can go wrong, and how to fix it when it
does. \LaTeX{} notes are provided for use with a set of
macros.

$\bullet$
There are many books on \TeX\ and \LaTeX, but so far (it
seems) no book has been devoted to the \TeX\ system as a
whole, i.e., all the software, tools, and macros that are
available and can be used when working with \TeX. This book
tries to fill the gap and provides a comprehensive guide to
the world of \TeX. It discusses the various implementations
of \TeX\ on all common platforms and how to obtain them,
presents the major macro packages, discusses the
installation and the use of fonts (including PostScript and
TrueType fonts), and the inclusion of graphics as well as
the prepara-\break tion of indices and bibliographies. It
will certainly be a valuable source of information, in
particular, for all those \TeX\ users who lack net access.

The following is an excerpt from the production remarks:
``Though the design is certainly more complex than the

its superior typographic quality. (A few small sections of
the book were produced using a desktop publishing program

it look as good as the \TeX\ output.)''
