I have read this article as well as the review in UNIX WORLD, and I
still don't know the cost, date published, or the ISBN.

The book may have possibilities.  After taking the Unix Trivia test in
the May/June, 1989, issue of CommUNIXations, I realized that I had
little hope of ever becomming a real UNIX guru without more exposure to
UNIX history and folklore.  As the reviewer in UNIX WORLD, Walter Zintz,
said, "people don't function well without roots in the things they do".
So heap that Berkely stuff on me.  Just how did that that unfinished
version of vi Bill Joy was working on before graduation get wiped out?
