Preface; 1. Families and Primitive Control Sequences. 2. Reference Pages for the Primitives. Appendix A. Typesetting Verbatim Material. Appendix B. Working with PostScript Fonts. Appendix C. Typesetting Material in Two Columns. Bibliography. Index. This is a good reference for people who have a bit of plain TeX under their belts, as the examples mix primitives and plain rather freelyIt is worth having in your reference library, particularly if you use plainTeX, or have to delve into TeX's innards for any reason.
