Picked this up from mail today. Fourth edition of "Guide to LaTeX" (don't Google it, kids!) from 2004. It came from UK and, apparently, belonged to some D. Linton.
Also, as a pleasant surprise, it contained TexLive 2003 distribution for Windows, Linux and MacOS UNSEALED!
I love thrift books.

    I think I made a really nice setup for marrying technical documentation with academic citations in . It was as simple as writing a little script using a citation library (PybTeX) and then incorporating it into the build process.

    See it working at https://marsh-sim.github.io/bibliography/

    Because everything is written in regular files, the editor can autocomplete citation keys without any special tooling - they are just sections in another file. This kind of interoperability is why simple tools like text files and are so great.

    I'm not a fan of hosting it on GitHub anymore, but there are already links in various places that I can't update, so this is the reasonable thing to do.
