\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).

   $\bullet$ 
          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.

          This article presents the concepts of a new publication.
          The following is an excerpt from the production remarks:
          ``Though the design is certainly more complex than the
          Society's other \TeX\ documents, \TeX\ was chosen over a
          what-you-see-is-what-you-get desktop publishing program for
          its superior typographic quality.  (A few small sections of
          the book were produced using a desktop publishing program
          but the output was manipulated and massaged by hand to make
          it look as good as the \TeX\ output.)''

          available for the Macintosh family of computers: CMac\TeX,
          Direct\TeX, Oz\TeX, and Textures.  The latter is a
          well-known commercial product which won't be reviewed here;
          the others are either freeware or shareware and are the
