+D. Rather and the technical staff of Forth, Inc. (Forth, Inc., 1997;
+ISBN 0-9662156-0-5) contains little introductory material. The majority
+of the book is similar to @ref{Words}, but the book covers most of the
+standard words and some non-standard words (whereas this manual is
+quite incomplete). In addition, the book contains a chapter on
