what Goldfarb did for SGML, arguably, is put off 99% of the people
who picked up that monstrous tome. I think its a terrible, unhelpful,
offputting book. it typifies why SGML was such a huge marketing
failure.

we need a *fun* book about DSSSL. and plenty of publishers would risk
it, if anyone can write such a thing.

which did you read in the old days, the Red PostScript book or the Blue
