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).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67614551146784,"sku":"USED1573980137","price":46.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71WIYJdsJoL.jpg?v=1790795572","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/lions-commentary-on-unix-1573980137-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
