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.
