I am trying to locate the publisher of the "Unix-in-a-Nutshell" handbooks.
Does anyone know their address or telephone number?
(These little books provide a quick introduction to Unix, vi, and uucp,
and are filled with lots of "copy this or adapt it for your needs"
examples).

Their address is: Nutshell Handbooks O'Reilly & Associates Inc. 171 Jackson Street Newton MA 02159 I have their "Reading & Writing TERMCAP Entries", and "Programming With Curses". They are very good. I recommend them highly. I have no connection with O'Reilly & Associates Inc. etc. etc. etc. pk -- ARPA: phaedrus@eneevax.umd.edu UUCP: {seismo,allegra}!mimsy!eneevax!phaedrus

The publisher of Nutshell is O'Reilly & Associates, 171 Jackson Street, Newton, Mass 02159617 527 4210. There are five volumes and they are $7.50 each. You might also look for UNIX Communications by The Waite Group and published by Howard W. Sams in May. This book has everything in all the Nutshells in one book, but the total isn't $37.50. There is also much more information about using USENET in the Waite Group title.

They're little books (5 1/2" x 8" stock, less than 100pp) which go over quickly a lot of things about basic UNIX etc. I would think naive user's would find them a nice, non-threatening introductions (we can get to the threats later :-) -Barry Shein, Boston University

I've been trying to administer a node outside my regular duties and just have not had the time to find all the good material the Nutshell Handbooks have --- nonetheless the time to organize it well! These do the job!! Rob Lake

extremely useful.
