in reply to (OT) Blast from the Past: The Pink Camel

Mine is a third printing with the same thing on the cards as kschwab's. I also have a pink Llama which I never really read, I don't think.

Other jewels in my O'Reilly collection include: a fifth printing spiral bound copy of Unix in a Nutshell (for System V), The Mosaic Handbook (for the X Window System), and a Beta Edition of JavaScript: The Definitive Guide. That one actually has "BETA EDITION: FOR NETSCAPE 2.0 and 3.0B6" printed on a slant in big red type over the Rhino. "BETA EDITION" is also printed (also on a slant) in light pink over the description on the back of the book. The printing history lists only "August 1996: Beta Edition."

I've noticed that older O'Reilly books list nuts@ora.com as their email address. Some also list uunet!ora!nuts for UUCP.
