5.0 out of 5 stars
Classic on computer-based text rendering, Feb 9 2004
This review is from: Computers & Typesetting, Volume B: TeX: The Program (Hardcover)
This book is extremely valuable to those hoping to understand and reuse Knuth's classic typesetting algorithms. It contains the every detail needed for the implementation. Each section has a number associated with the source code. Besides, it can also serve as an excellent example of a large project for computer science students. One can understand better "the art of computer programming" after reading this book. Of course, you should get prepared to learn Knuth's Pascal/Web sytle language instead of the popular C/Java language.
