Hallelujah, or should I not use that in this context?  Anyway, this message
is for Mitchell Waite.

I have been trying to track down the publisher of what I thought was the
Desk Top Publisher's Bible and maybe this will work.  I have been searching
for the book ever since I 'lent' it, a good few years ago, to someone who I
suspect never even bothered to read it.

Having started my e-life with cpm/Wordstar/Supercalc/Dbase II in the depths
of Darfur, I found the DTP said all a busy development economist ever
needed to know about design, not to mention kerning & leading and so many
other things.  Besides the laid-back west coast approach was a delight.

Amazon says the Desktop Publishing  Bible (I may have got the name a bit
wrong) was one of yours but it is not on the list on your website and I
want to check it is the book I am looking for.  Every chapter was written
by a different author with the writer's biosnap (very laid-back west coast)
at the start of each one.  Have I found it after all these years?

As a lifelong enemy of the Microsoft colossus, I much enjoyed reading your
history.  Best regards. James Morton
