[xsl] XSL-FO book recommendations?

["Newton, Philip" <Philip.Newton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can someone recommend books on XSL-FO?

So far, I've seen three books focussing particularly on XSL-FO:

* XSL-FO (Dave Pawson/O'Reilly)
* Definitive XSL-FO (G. Ken Holman/Prentice-Hall PTR)
* XSL Formatting Objects Developer's Handbook (Doug Lovell/SAMS)

Before getting one of them, I'd like to ask the list. What experiences do
you have with the books? Is there one you would recommend?

I think I'm looking for a more tutorial-style complement to the W3C spec
which is a reference.

I'll probably be using Java and XSLT to transform XML documents in order to
generate XSL-FO code, if that makes a difference.

Going by the Amazon.com reviews, they all seem to be good... but there
aren't that many reviews of each (four, two, and one, respectively) so that
makes it a little harder to judge.

Cheers,
Philip
