P.S.  I dig a little digging around and found that Glenn Reid, author of
Adobe's "Postscript Language Program Design" (a/k/a The Green Book) has
generously made the full text of his 1990 book "Thinking in Postscript"
available for download in PDF format.  I haven't yet read it, but
according to the blurb he wrote it partially because he found in
teaching PS that people tend to try to make PS "look like" other
languages they already knew (C I suppose).  It's at
