This document discusses comparisons using "as...as" and "not as...as". It explains that "as...as" is used to compare two things that are equal, while "not as...as" compares two things that are not equal. Some examples are provided for each. It also notes that "not quite as" and "not nearly as" can modify "not as...as" comparisons, and "not so...as" is another way to express unequal comparisons, but is less common than "not as...as".
