Well, Mr. Stevens is dead. His coauthor took over duties for this revision, from what I've heard, and did quite a good job. But I have the first edition and Rochkind's revised book and have other uses for $70 at the moment.

He sure was. Sometimes I admired Stevens' ability to explain the UNIX system call interface as much as the architecture he was explaining.
