}Well, I don't know if this is exactly what you want, but there is the book:

} 1989 Addison Wesley, publisher. ISBN 0-201-06196-1
}
I suspect that the BSD 4.4 books from O'Reilly and Associates might not
be a bad buy as well. Seems to me they run about $30 apiece for the 5
book set. Mix and match and you should probably get pretty close.
Contact sales@ora.com for more info.
