Back when I was a student, I remember seeing all of these paperback BSD Unix
manuals lying around wherever Suns, etc. seemed to live.  There were many
different manuals covering various aspects of Unix all the way from user level
to administrative level.  They seemed to have pictures of demons (daemons?) on
their covers.  They seemed to be an excellent source of BSD Unix info.  I find
that trying to maintain a standalone NeXT requires a little more than the NeXT
documentation (guffaws heard in the background!), so I would like to buy
additional manuals.  I seem to remember that UC Berkeley might have been the
source, but I also seem to remember that the distribution of these manuals
might have been limited to universities.  Can someone provide me a pointer?
