I received a handful of comments and many requests for more information:

The book's ISBN is 1555581994 and it is published by Digital Press, an
imprint of Butterworth-Heinemann (http://www.bh.com). This book came out
in December 1998 and IS shipping and in bookstores.

The book can be ordered online from:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1555581994/qid%3D915918055/002-2062148-0598033

http://search.borders.com/fcgi-bin/db2www/search/search.d2w/Details?&mediaType=Book&prodID=30597633

and probably other online bookstores in addition to looking on the shelf
in local bookstores.


A couple of comments from folks who already have it:

"I had it on order from Amazon.com for several months. It was late
coming out. It looks good so far. Happy reading."

"I didn't learn anything from it, so I was disappointed. It covers basic
Unix Administration plus some things which are unique to Digital Unix.
It's not bad for beginners, and for folks just learning DU. I'm sure I
would have liked to have had it around about four years ago."
