The Unix v10 manual, from Bell Labs' Computing Science Research Center, the system's original home, has just been published in two volumes. Volume 1 is the programmer's manual, volume 2 is supporting papers, including the most up-to-date description of troff and related utilities. The two-volume set may be ordered directly from the publisher for $45 total; bookstores will sell the volumes separately.

Does anybody know whether they accept credit card orders?

I sent in a check for $45 and received my set a week ago. (The set is great, by the way. I hope some of the software described in there eventually finds it way into the hands of people outside of Bell.) But ... Saunders is now trying to charge me $72.75 for the set, not $45 as Doug McIlroy posted. They're charging for each manual separately, plus postage and handling, plus local sales tax. I haven't had a chance to call them yet to try and straighten this out, so I can't say if they really plan to sell the set for $45 or not. Just be aware that you might get a bill after you get your manuals. Also, there is a toll-free order number: 1-800-782-4479, 0830-1700, Eastern time.
