That's ok, you'll be glad to know I just purchased a copy on amazon for
about $7.50 :)
There are some books I gladly paid $$big_bux for, including the W.
Richard Stevens TCP/IP Illustrated Vol 1, Advanced Programming in the
Unix Environment, and his Unix Network Programming (vol 1 & 2) books.
Must haves, IMHO, for anyone doing programming on Unix/Linux machines,
and still in print. :)
Most of my vintage computer books & manuals I've been lucky enough to
grab either cheaply ($5-$10) or as they were being thrown out. A
proper VMS grey or orange wall is a necessity for any VAX-ite. Mine is
orange. :)

This is one of my prized collection. I fought a blood-feud auction
and won it a couple of years ago. I forgot the final price but I
think it was $70++ :-p
*sigh* the obsession... *shakes head*
*grabs the copy* *caresses it*
