In ksh.1, in the See Also section, this book is referenced:
Morris Bolsky and David Korn, The KornShell Command and Programming
Language, 2nd Edition, Prentice Hall, 1995, ISBN 0131827006.
However, the book with that ISBN number has a different name, as
attested to here:
https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=545704&preflayout=flat
and by looking up the ISBN on Google and Amazon. (I also own the book
with this ISBN number, and can confirm those sources _are_ correct)
So if this book is to be referenced, the title given should be:
The New KornShell Command and Programming Language
The reference to it being a second edition then becomes optional, and
fine either way.

However, it may be worthwhile reverting the reference to be to the
first edition of the book:
https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=77009&preflayout=flat
The 2nd edition is about ksh93, while the first edition is about
ksh88.  The ksh clone in OpenBSD is not a ksh93 clone.
