Ooops I dunno, I linked to the first pictures of the covers I could find in
a Google. I just assumed they were some generic book website. I hope I
haven't accidentally endorsed some scam mongers, pardon me folks if I have!
I actually purchased my pair from Bookware in Canberra, but I don't want to
endorse them either -- Greg K

Aren't those links just to rip-off sites? I notice that the books are still
available for purchase elsewhere.

I've been flipping through the books and all I can think of is what Homer
Simpson said when he opened his operator manual looking for a way of
averting a meltdown: "Who could have thought a nuclear reactor would be so
complicated".

 

There's so much detailed information in these books that I reckon you could
write Windows from them. The tables of contents of the books give you an
idea of how technical and geeky they are. The text is dense with lots of
nice diagrams but it's all very neatly organised and from my 15 minutes of
flipping through it looks very readable. The Security chapter is one of the
fattest, so that'll be interesting reading. I highly recommend these books
for anyone who likes getting down close to the wire.
