After an initial 30 pages of Unix basics, such as introductions to the shell and kernel, Hip Pocket Guide to Unix launches into a in-depth glossary of every Unix command. The terms are organized alphabetically, with each command receiving a page or two of explanation and examples. Because it's spiral-bound and pocket-sized, the reader is able to type with both hands while glancing at the book.

The drawback to the Hip Pocket Guide to Unix lies, paradoxically, in the book's strength: the alphabetical layout of commands. If you're unsure of what command will--for example--stop a runaway process, you'd probably spend some time looking through the abbreviated list until you got to "kill." But the alphabetized order of commands also makes it a snap to review commands with a quick page toss and get a grasp on new ones while flipping through the book. For those readers with a general idea of how Unix works, Hip Pocket Guide to Unix provides an expedient alternative to scanning many pages. --Jennifer Buckendorff
