Interesting.
Now that this page is brought to my attention, I realize
that the book I've been learning my troff from isn't in
the list. I picked it up on Ebay from a UK bookseller.
It's titled _Unix System Document Processing Guide_ and
has no authors listed. The publisher is Western Electric.
Anyone heard of this one? The writing is quite good,
and rather comical at times.
