Unix in a Nutshell, Fourth Edition by
Arnold Robbins
The Perfect Reference
Unix in a Nutshell is the standard desktop reference, without question.
(Manpages come in a close second.) With a clean layout and superior
command tables available at a glance, OReillys third edition of Nutshell is
an essential to own. Like a dictionary, Unix in a Nutshell helps you find
what you need, even if youre not exactly sure what youre looking for (or
how to spell it!). With that in mind, this book is for intermediate to
advanced users only--those new to the Unix operating system would be
better off with Learning the Unix Operating System or Unix: Visual
Quickstart Guide. The last full revision of the book was in 1992, and the
new edition covers Solaris 7 as well as newer versions of shells (ksh, in
particular), RCS, and GNU emacs. Topping off at over 500 pages, Unix in
a Nutshell contains--literally--everything you could want to know about the
various commands, shells, and functions. Fifty new commands have been
added to the already sizable lists, and even the most seasoned user is
likely to find a discover a new timesaving command. --Jennifer

Let me start off by saying that if you are looking for a introductory book
about Unix and you have no experience with Unix OS whatsoever, this is
not a book for you. If you are new to Unix OS, then you should consider
buying the OReilly book,Learning the Unix Operating System.
Like the cover page says, this book is a reference book. This book covers
GNU/Linux OS, Mac OS, Solaris OS, Unix commands, Bash Shells, Korn
Shells, package management, emacs editor, and many other information
that are very useful to Unix programmers, system administrators, and Unix
users.
If you have a bit of experience with Unix, this book should be a must.
