5.0 out of 5 stars
Best of its kind for a forgotten art,
By Stratiotes Doxha Theon "2 Thes 2:15" (Richmond, Missouri) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Unix Text Processing (Paperback)
Hands down this is the best reference of its kind. Though somewhat dated, the material is as pertinent today as it was 20 years ago. There is no better introduction to the vi, ex, and sed editors and troff and nroff text processing tools. Those just scratch the surface of the power provided in the UNIX text toolset. At the end, the authors do a fantastic job of detailing how the tools can be all brought together using the make utility to ease any text processing job. Despite the updates that have given us the WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) approach, these early text processing tools are still unmatched in their processing capabilities and extendability. This book will give you the insight and introduction you need to start making use of them today.

Great price great service,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Unix Text Processing (Hayden Books UNIX library system) (Hardcover)
Although the USPS took a little while to get it here, it arrived within the window designated by the seller. The book, although used as stated in the listing, is in very good shape and free of any markings from the previous owner. I'm very satisfied with the purchase and would buy from this seller again.
