Reader Reviews
This review is from: UNIX Unbounded: A Beginning Approach (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
Overall a good introduction to the Unix Operating System, but the typographical errors are unforgiveable. The command line orientation of Unix is cumbersome enough without mistyped examples. Potentially frustrating for first time users, this book is in dire need of revision.
