Summary: You're wrong, Ron is right, John is the King of the Beasts


The beasts are Johnstone, Hume, Rose, Grevis, Ivanov, Hill, and numerous
others.

Lyons was once an Australian Prime Minister, a little before Lions' time
I think (though its hard to be completely sure :-)  We haven't yet elected
John as Prime Minister, that will take at least one more line by line
commentary (2 isn't enough).

For what its worth, original Lions books had pink & orange covers, if
yours don't, you've gotten substandard duplicates.

They were certainly the ideal way to learn unix, they still are a very
good way, but now you need someone to explain to you just why everything
has changed so much.
