Not yet. Is it good?
Steve, I like it.
Is it hugely confusing?
That's subjective. I read his series, "The Art of Computer Programming," in the mid-1970s just to learn how to be a better FORTRAN coder. Quite readable. I've not yet bought the TeXbook, but I should.
How much does it cost? I see that it retails for $44.99 and you can get it new for $38.67 at Amazon. Can I get it used? Where would I get it?
Any of the tech book stores should stock it; most probably have used copies, too. Amazon does; so does Powell's Technical Books (http://www.powells.com/). Bookpool has it new, but not used. BTW, have you read Appendix D (LaTeX Programming) in Kopka and Daly (4th Ed.)? HTH, Rich -- Richard B.
