your unix: the ultimate guide 
boodlebooks sent me the wrong edition. I ordered the 2nd edition and was sent the 1st edition which is 10 years old.
Great book! 
I took a college course in Fall 2009 that used the 2nd ed. of this book, but I bought the 1st ed. on accident. I'm glad I did. Both editions are very challenging and strengthened my knowledge of *Nix and shell programming. I would definitely recommend attempting the exercises at the end of the chapters.
best unix book for the beginner
bought this book for a beginner's unix course and is a great reference for all things unix. wonderfully written and easy to follow. a model for other books
Way overpriced, general UNIX book 
I did not find in this book anything that may justify its price. It is a general book on UNIX that repeats the same things like any of FREE pdf books by GNU project or "UNIX for dummies" that is 6 times less. The book is also full of mistakes, and on some subjects it's plain wrong. To spend this kind of money you can find much better options out there.
After reviewing most of the ecstatic reviews on this book I conclude they are fake.
It's a great book! 
Well worth the money, explains things very well, the questions are thought provoking and very well done.
I would have given it 5 stars if not for the poor quality of the binding--the book COMPLETELY fell apart. This also happened to several other students in my class--very annoying after I paid $100 for it.
McGrawHill sent me another one after I complained loudly.
