"The most famous suppressed book in computer history!
* Used as an Operating System textbook at MIT""After 20 years, this is still the best expostion of the workings of a 'real' operating system."" --- Ken Thompson (Developer of the UNIX operating system)After years of suppression (as trade secrets) by various owners of the UNIX code, this tome has been re-released, and we owe a debt to all involved in making this happen. I consider this to be the single most important book of 1996. Unix Review, June 1997""The Lions book"", cherished by UNIX hackers and widely circulated as a photocopied bootleg document since the late 1970's, is again available in an unrestricted edition. This legendary underground classic, reproduced without modification, is really two works in one:

the complete source code to an early version (Edition 6) of the UNIX operating system, a treasure in itself!

a brilliant commentary on that code by John Lionswith additional historical perspective essays added in 1996.

Lions' marriage of source code with commentary was originally used as an operating systems textbook, a purpose for which it remains superbly well-suited (as evidenced by it's ongoing use at MIT)."
