This is an OK book, but a better one is:
Practical SGML, by Eric van Herwijnen. Second edition, 1994.
Kluwer Academic Publishers, Norwell Mass. ISBN: 0-7923-9434-8.
288 pages.
There is also the "bible", which contains a full printing of the
standard, but is otherwise difficult for the beginner:
The SGML Handbook, by Charles Goldfarb. Oxford U. Press, 1990,
ISBN #0-19-863737-9. But hold onto your hats: $95 (hardback).
