The following appears in the Unix FAQ sheet:

• Mitch Wright (mitch@cirrus.com) maintains a useful list of Unix and C books, with descriptions and some mini-reviews. There are currently 167 titles on his list.

  You can obtain a copy of this list by anonymous ftp from ftp.rahul.net (192.160.13.1), where it's "pub/mitch/YABL/yabl". Send additions or suggestions to mitch@cirrus.com.

• Samuel Ko (kko@sfu.ca) maintains another list of Unix books. This list contains only recommended books, and is therefore somewhat shorter. This list is also a classified list, with books grouped into categories, which may be better if you are looking for a specific type of book.

  You can obtain a copy of this list by anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu, where it's "pub/usenet/news.answers/books/unix". Send additions or suggestions to kko@sfu.ca.

  If you can't use anonymous ftp, email the line "help" to "ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com" for instructions on retrieving things via email.
