    Aren't they, though.   I have most of these books; Programming in C,
the shell script book, the system admin book, and the UNIX book, and I
have found them to be excellent references works, written well enough,
in my opinion, to be used as texts.  I think they are well worth the
money; especially since their C book sells for $23 something in my
market vs. $31.50 for K&R (yes, you read that right!).

    And, as you say, they also have cute covers.  Good stuff.
