Reviews From AMAZON.COM

Should be called man-pages-plus

While the info in this book is clear and correct, it really is just an enhancement of the info found in the man pages. I suppose that its best purpose is as a desk reference utilized when you would like to see better versions of man pages in printed format.

Just a good book

It doesn't contain all the admin stuff about Solaris one would like to know but is useful.
