+\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:

+ 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.

+ 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.

+ 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.
+

+ 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).
