Review of "TEX and METAFONT, New Directions in Typesetting by Donald Knuth", Digital Press and the American Mathematical Society.
Keith Price · ACM SIGART Bulletin · 1980
TEX and METAFONT, New Directions in Typesetting consists of three parts each of which is self-contained. First is "Mathematical Typography," a Gibbs Lecture that Dr. Knuth presented to the annual meeting of the American Mathematical Society. This gives an overview of both TEX and METAFONT and puts them in perspective. Part 2 is a oomplete description of the TEX typesetting system. The last part is a similar description of METAFONT.
