You might be interested in this one by the same author too:
Title: Typesetting Tables on the UNIX System
Author: Henry McGilton; Mary McNabb (With)
Publisher: Trilithon Press
Date: 1990-04
ISBN: 9780962628900 / 0962628905

I found it invaluable back when I was using troff frequently, and it too
is, IMHO, very well written.
