I just purchased two..to get the free shipping 13.96 I think it was. I'll just give the 2nd one to my linux noob friend. Anyway I also told my friend to get Linux in a Nutshell which he did. He's just starting out with Linux.

I just got my order and the Linux book is the same exact book that is on Amazon. They have the same bar code and ISBN number. The front and back covers are also the same. I also ordered "HTML Complete" and both books came to $11.96 total delivered.

Just got my order in.....my Linux book is crooked though. The cover as well as all the pages are printed at an angle. It's like I bought some factory reject version of this....was I just unlucky or is that why these are so cheap? Ah well, prob. just keep it & tilt my head or something....

Both my Linux and HTML book are perfect. Anybody with a messed up book should email or call for a replacement. The site mentioned nothing about the books having "manufacturing defects". My only problem is that the books are 2 1/2 years old, but 1750 pages for $12 is OK with me.

Most of my pages have level text, but the first thirty pages are noticeably canted. Not a big enough deal for me to return it.
