:          o 4.4BSD User's Reference Manual               $30.00
:          o 4.4BSD User's Supplementary Documents        $30.00
:          o 4.4BSD Programmer's Reference Manual         $30.00
:          o 4.4BSD Programmer's Supplementary Documents  $30.00
: ...you can get them all for $120.00 if you buy them at one time.

There's also a 4.4BSD CD-ROM Companion ($40.00) which includes a CD-ROM
containing "the source code, manual pages and other documents, and research
papers from the first revision of the UCB's 4.4BSD-Lite distribution."
