One of my all-time favorite books which of course I’ve owned multiple times but never read in its entirety: UNIX Text Processing, which covers the roff family in detail, plus eqn, awk, etc.

Possibly of interest...

A re-compilation of the book by various contributors coordinated by Larry Kollar.

The whole thing compiles in a few seconds on an old Thinkpad (I had to fix a font location warning).

I very much endorse that book. I only have two small shelves of technical books, but that one makes the cut to be on it.
