Kurzbeschreibung
This Millennium Boxed Set -- five elegantly printed books that describe their own method of creation -- celebrates Donald E. Knuth's monumental coupling of programming and typography in the TeX and METAFONT systems that are used worldwide by scientists, mathematicians, and others to produce high-quality, aesthetically pleasing text. Originally published in 1986, each volume has changed so much in subsequent printings that nearly every page has been touched. The improvements reflect new developments in digital printing technology; as well as corrections submitted by thousands of volunteers -- making these volumes the most accurate versions yet published. For readers who own earlier printings of Knuth's books, or have holes in their collections, the Millennium Boxed Set makes updating easy. For those who own none of the books, the boxed set is a convenient way to get them all at once.

The pristine and the ultimate in TeX!
31. Mai 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Donald E Knuth, better known as the "Grand Old Man of TeX", needs no introduction in the world of everyone who has at one time or the other attempted computer typesetting of a scientific/engineering document. Even so, not many of them are aware of the great Teacher/Author which he also is.
I can asseverate that anybody who attempts even a casual reading of the "TeXBook" (The first volume in the boxed set of 5 books) will simply be enchanted by the lucid and clear style of writing (with a good dose of humor) and fall inevitably in love with TeX.
I thank Addison-Wesley for making these great works of a great man available in a beautifully typeset (needless to say, in TeX!)boxed set of 5 books, which has helped me in supplementing my 'Knuth Collection'. I consider this boxed set of Knuth books as one of my prized possession, of which I am justifiably proud.
I also thank AmazonOnline for facilitating the purchase.
Start TeXking and Enjoy typesetting like you never did!

Neither practically nor theoretically interesting
15. September 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
These books are well known and famous but I didn't find them handy. They don't cover enough theory of layout and rendering to be of theoretical interest to someone trying to understand the field. Nor do they provide enough practical instruction to actually *use* latex or metafont. Books 'B' and 'D' are basically large programming examples which is kinda nice: they do demonstrate how you can structure exceedingly complex software.

ABCDE
29. Mai 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
How exciting it was to take the box set out of the shipping box. How wonderful to have all these volumes as a lovely box set. Here is a case in which thinking inside the box is beneficial. Dr. Knuth's writing and typesetting is, as always, clear and beautiful, and his sense of humor adds extra dimensions to the important information. How rare that such useful books are also a joy to read, as are these.
