	Huh? Use a phone! Certainly not! You can ftp to ora.com and
get the catalog in /pub/book.catalog.Z . Of course it won't be as
nice as the one they will send you in the mail but you will at least
get to look through it faster.

[ stuff about /pub/book.catalog.Z at ora.com deleted ]

To get a list of all of them, the above method is certainly best.  If you'd
like to also get a list of books recommened by fellow netters, ftp off to
the host "ftp.rahul.net", cd into "pub/mitch/YABL", and get the yabl
list there.  It includes most of ORA's books plus many other useful texts.

G'day,
      There's a heap of nutshell titles around...here's just a few that may
help from the unix book list posted to the net now and then (I can mail the
whole thing to you if you want...it's a list of UNIX, C and OS type
books...or you can ftp the latest version of the list from ftp.rahul.net
pub/mitch/YABL/yabl ).

[ list of books deleted, if you want it email me ]

you might ask O'Reilly at bookquestions@ora.com
join their email mailing list by sending email address to
book-info-request@ora.com

and, yes, their books are great -- getting better all the time.

Try sending a catalog request to nuts@ora.com.

G. Guy Greenwald II  <ggg@sunquest.com>

Try e-mail to tim@ora.com and see what you get.

Also, try sales@ssc.com if you want info on our products.  We publish
pocket-sized references for UNIX, etc.  I will include our short price
list but we do have a catalog we can mail to you.

You can call O'Reilly and Asscociates (toll-free) for a catalog of their
books.  I don't happen to have the number handy, but i believe you can
call 800 directory service and ask for that number.

If you can't find it, send me a note, and I'll go look the number up.   Good luck.

I have read two of the "Nutshell" books.  "Lex and Yacc" was quite
good -- you should buy it if you ever write any language interpreters
or compiler front-ends.  "Sed and Awk" was OK, but it's almost $30,
and everything in them is in the -man- pages anyway, so it's not
really worth the money.  (However, it does give some good examples --
you might want to borrow it some time just for a look...)

Thanks also to & "Jim L. Schulmeyer" <lhdsy1!jls@uunet.uu.net> who supplied the
same phone numbers as Jeff Jones <uunet!ssdc!jjones>.
