This is a great book, and much of it is still relevant today.  The editor 
tutorials and the document formatting chapters are outstanding.

FWIW, my copy does have the "A BYTE BOOK" and the "McGraw-Hill Software 
Series for Computer Professionals" headings, and has the same ISBN and
publish date (1983), 556 total pages including the index.  

The book doesn't appear to have any printing version on the copyright
page, just this above the ISBN, which I have no idea what it means:

	12 13 14 15 DODO 898765
