>
> The book TeX for the Impatient was originally published in 1990 by
> Addison-Wesley.  It contains both tutorial and reference information on
> primitive and plain TeX; it does not discuss LaTeX.
>
> Now, it's been declared out of print and A-W has reverted all rights to
> us, the authors.  We've decided to make the book available in source
> form, under the GNU Free Documentation License, as our way of supporting
> the community which supported the book in the first place.
>
> Primary distribution point:
>        ftp://tug.org/tex/impatient/
>   aka http://tug.org/ftp/tex/impatient/
> (I've also submitted it to CTAN, so it should show up there soon.)
>
> Information about the free edition is included in the preface, the
> copyright page, and the README.
>
> We'd be interested in hearing about any projects undertaken with this
> material.  We don't plan to make any further changes or additions to the
> book ourselves, except for correction of any outright errors reported to
> us, and perhaps inclusion of the illustrations.
>
> Happy TeX'ing!
