The book really is as the No Starch Press says:'Entertainment for the geeks'. The book covers every nook and corner of the Linux OS. It truly deserves 5 stars. My only disappointment is that there is no low priced Indian edition available like the ones by Pearson etc. The imported edition is very very expensive. No Starch Press please do something about it.

Absolutely great written book, rare kind of explanation, writer cover every aspect of Linux OS concept, kernel, memory, and other concepts. good one.. This much price for a book, for general people very tough to bear.

A fabulously detailed and complete book on Linux System Programming. Little wonder, the author, Michael Kerrisk, is the maintainer of the Linux man-pages project.
Worth every rupee. A careful perusal of this book will get you back an ROI many times over. :)

it's a must have book if you are interested in system programming.it may be bit heavy on wallet but once you have it , you will come to know that it really worth it.it is as good as a book can be but before going for it , one must be very familiar(advanced and thorough knowledge of pointers) with c programming skills and operating system concepts otherwise its a wastage of money.

I must say it is one of the best book for system programming. All aspects are covered with examples.
Sad abt the fact that Low price indian edition is not available.
