I recommend this book.

On: Text Processing in Python

The author clearly takes pride in his work, and uses TeX (well, LaTeX) to do the print-ready typesetting. There's nothing worse than an ugly book with ugly fonts.

question about this book

On: Beyond Software Architecture

Was this book typeset using TeX?

important question:

On: Core Mac OS X and Unix Programming

Is this book typeset in TeX?

Skip this book.

On: Java Database Best Practices

Like all ORA books, this one was typeset using FrameMaker. FrameMaker! I urge you to boycott ORA until they come to their senses and use TeX to produce high-quality typesetting.

skip this book

On: Mac OS X Unleashed (2nd Edition)

I recommend you skip this book; it was NOT typeset using TeX. There are plenty of good books out there that are typeset using TeX, which are more readable.

If the authors couldn't be bothered to use a high quality typesetting system, do you really think they put much effort into the rest of their book?

don't worry

On: UK Govt Warned: Don't Buy GPL

fortunately, TeX is not distributed unther the GNU GPL, so Britons can still do high quality typesetting.

key software

On: Custom Linux Distributions from Educational Institutions?

Any custom "Educational" linux version should include TeX so you can typeset high quality math tests.

depends...

On: Is (Embedded) Linux Worth The Effort?

Does embedded linux run TeX? If it doesn't, why bother.
