5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for anyone involved with Unix systems., 24 Jan 2001

By	paul.wirdnam@btinternet.com (West Sussex, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I bought this book back in 1989 when I first got involved with Unix systems. Since this date, I have bought many computer books (other Unix books, NT, RDBMS, Domino, Java, HTML, XML etc etc) but this book remains one of my all-time favorites.

It is pitched just at the right level with very good examples and a good index. I'm not suprised there has not been a new edition since it's 1986 first print; the Anderson's got it right first time!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on unix shell programming I've read., 23 Jul 1999

By A Customer

I've used this book both as a beginner to unix and as a unix system programmer 10 years later. I would not do shell programming without it and an appropriate O'Reilly 'Unix in a nutshell' book. It is designed to be read end to end, introducing new topics bit by bit and expanding on them using numerous excellent examples which grow in complexity as the book progresses. This does give rise to my one complaint which is that while it is filled with useful tables and charts detailing various command options, etc., it can be difficult to find a particular table using the index since topics are spread throughout the book. Desipite this minor agravation, this book is in my list of 'top 10' must have unix programming books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best beginners' Unix and C Shell guide, 18 Sep 1998

By A Customer

If you are new to Unix, this book has everything you need to know and answers more of your questions than other books. It's incomplete in the sense that after reading this book, you just think you are ready to know more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best C Shell book available. No mistakes like other books.
Most comprehensive C shell book. Examples are not too long but there are a sufficent number of applicable examples. Most importantly, the there are few if any errors.
