Leonard See my earlier reply for entry level books. There's no doubt that the Adobe Reference Manual is the best book, and really the most important since it's the main language reference. It's quite heavy going in places, though. For a very basic introduction to the language, the SYBEX book is pretty good … and if you're just interested in `playing' with the language, then the Learning PostScript book is worth considering. One thing that really does help in learning PostScript is the PD POST interpreter that you'll find hereabouts … you can enter PostScript commands and see what they do straight away. Good luck!
