Summary: It's history now, but it was one of the few I kept.
Comment: Yes, this is 2.0 history, but I liked this book & still use it.
It was one of the few books I kept on my "active" shelf.
The author also writes (wrote?) lots of great Unix magazine articles. "RIP". my old friend book.

Rating: 1
Summary: Is there a 0 star rating??
Comment: This is one of the worst technical books I have ever had the misfortune to purchase. The book contains typos in command line examples, very poor use of font and face changes, really cheesy ASCII art "illustrations", some of which are actually broken over two pages. The information presented does not really leave the reader enlightened although one could perhaps suggest this is a problem with the reader....

Overall, the book has it all - poor content and exceedingly poor presentation.

Specific examples of errors:

* Fig 8.1 broken over two pages

* Paragraph 8.3 contains the phrase "to the printer scribe." with no indication that "scribe" is a proper name as opposed to some imagined printer part.

* page 125 includes an example of a command wherein the option "-P" should be "-p"

The book is riddled with these kinds of problems.
