There are many books out on the Unix system. Here are a few, ranked
in my entirely subjective order of preference.
McGilton and Morgan, "Introducing the UNIX System," Byte Books (McGraw
Hill), 1983. $18.95, paper. Readable and fairly complete. Includes
sections on Berklix stuff and on system management.
Bourne, "The UNIX System," Addison-Wesley, 1982. ~$20.00, paper.
Breathtakingly complete, especially the part on shell programming,
but it reads kind of like the Algol-68 report.
Thomas and Yates, "A User Guide to the UNIX System," Osborne/McGraw Hill,
1982. $16, paper. Readable, but not very complete. Lots of examples.
The second half on "The Unix system and office automation" is total
blather.
