This collection of Glisterings columns primarily covers LaTeX
topics, with excursions into fonts, graphics, bookbinding, and
more. The focus is on practical answers to specific questions posed by users. Generally, several answers are presented with accompanying discussion.

The Glisterings column was a popular feature in TUGboat, the
journal of the TeX Users Group, from 2001 to 2017. The present volume collects all published columns, and adds a comprehensive bibliography and index, along with a few updates to the text, as needed.

TeX is a sophisticated typesetting system that has been in widespread use since approximately 1980. TeX's originator, Donald Knuth, structured the system so users could add functionality. It remains the state of the art.

The TeX Users Group (TUG) is a membership-based non-profit organization founded in 1980, for those who have an interest in typesetting, typography and font design and/or are users of the TeX typesetting system. New members, volunteers, and donations are always welcome; please visit www.tug.org.

About the Author
Wilson, Peter: - Peter Wilson has had a varied professional career, starting in the UK, going from Engineer to Physicist to Engineer to Computer Scientist to Information Scientist, eventually retiring from The Boeing Company in the USA. Sometime along the way he was the Editor in Chief of the IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications magazine. Peter has always had an interest in type and typography, and started using LaTeX seriously around 1985 when being an editor of ISO 10303 Standard documents, some of which extended to 1500 or so pages. Since retiring he has become a letterpress printer, using the old technology of lead type and printers ink, and a bookbinder. In 2009 he received a Gold Award from the International Association of Printing House Craftsmen at the International Gallery for Superb Craftsmanship in the Production of Twelve Chinese Great Scholars.
