Reader Reviews
This book is the best written Unix reference book I've ever encountered. Peter Dyson wrote this to be easier to read than Unix MAN pages - why it's called the "Hu.man pages" - and he succeeded royally. Although I also own O'Reilly's great "Unix In a Nutshell" reference book, that one is not as nearly easy to read. When I need to look up a Unix command, the first book I always grab is this one. My advise is: if you find a copy, buy it!
