%T   "Life With UNIX: A Guide for Everyone"
 
The preface states that this is the "other" book about UNIX: not the manual,
not the introduction, and not the course text.  It also isn't about C
programming, shell programming, or system administration.  Which still leaves a
lot of ground to cover, but nonetheless makes it hard to say what the book *is*
about.
 
There is some history, and some programming.  There is some information on
(presumably "not-other") UNIX books.  There are some tips and tricks and
trivia.  Don't take all of it as gospel: there are errors aplenty.
 
No, this book is not for everyone, nor is it really a guide.  It is possibly
amusing for those who know the system but haven't attained guru status yet.
