GNU Emacs Manual

M. Richard Stallman's book on emacs.

Review by Phil Stripling

Stallman is the creator of emacs, and this book covers version 20 of emacs, the current version. emacs is a text editor originally written for UNIX, but ported to almost all platforms. With html-helper-mode by Nelson Minar, emacs is a great way to create Web pages. I use the Macintosh port at home and the UNIX flavor online. With RMAIL and GNUS, it is a pleasure to read email and Usenet news, all in the familiar surroundings of a great text editor.

NOTE: Earlier editions cover earlier versions of emacs. Be sure you buy the current 13th edition.
