+1) Where should I look for documentation?
+
+User documentation is found in the file amsrdoc.pdf.
+
+Some example files (cite-xa.tex, cite-xb.tex, cite-xh.tex, cite-xs.tex
+and gktest.ltb) are also provided.
+
+2) How do I define my own bibliography style?
+
+For information on customizing the formatting of references, see
+amsrefs.pdf, especially sections 4, 6.10 and 6.27.
+
+3) I'm trying to use amsrefs with hyperref, but various bad things
+ are happening.
+
+Unlike most packages, which must be loaded before hyperref, amsrefs
+must be loaded *after* hyperref:
+
+ \usepackage{hyperref}
+ \usepackage{amsrefs}
+
+4) When I put
+
+ review={MR0113214 (22 \#4052)},
+
+ in a \bib, there is no space between the review number and the
+ preceding period in the printed output.
+
+You must use the \MR macro to mark MR reviews:
+
+ review={\MR{0113214 (22 \#4052)}},
+
+This will ensure the spacing is correct and also allow you to use the
+msc-links option.
