Paper-based Books

When we look for a comprehensive list of XML books, we go to http://www.xmlbooks.com/, but we have noted a few titles below related to the technologies we write about ourselves.

If Crane's electronic publications are not suited to your needs, some of our content is published in paper form:

• Definitive XSLT & XPath - Prentice Hall - ISBN 0-13-065196-6
  
  • derived from an edited version of the Ninth Edition of Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath (ISBN 1-894049-06-3)
  • Prentice Hall have made available a sample chapter in PDF for free download (Note that we believe this is the very first commercial paper book produced entirely with XML-related technologies, as the sources are all in XML and the camera-ready copy (this chapter is an example) was produced in PDF using XSLT/XPath and XSL-FO.)
  • also part of The Definitive XML Professional Toolkit boxed set

• Definitive XSL-FO - Prentice Hall - ISBN 0-13-140374-5
  
  • derived from an edited version of the Third Edition of Practical Formatting Using XSL-FO (ISBN 1-894049-10-1)
  • Prentice Hall have made available a sample chapter in PDF for free download

Publications to which G. Ken Holman has contributed:

• Advanced XML Applications - Thomson - ISBN 1598632140
