This summer I'm getting into UNIX (mostly *BSD) development. I've graduate level knowledge about operating systems. I can also understand the code & read from here and there but the thing is I want to make most of my time. Reading books are best for this.

From my search I found that these two books

1. The Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System
2. "Unix Internals: The New Frontiers" by Uresh Vahalia

are like established books on UNIX OS internals. But the thing is these books are pretty much outdated.

yay!! Lucky me. "Unix Internals: The New Frontiers" by Uresh Vahalia 2 edition (Jan 2010) is released. I've been search for information on this book. Sadly, Amazon says "Out of Print--Limited Availability" & I couldn't find any info regarding this book. This is the information I'm looking for:

1. Table of Contents
2. Whats new in this edition?
3. Where the hell can I buy soft-copy of this book? I really cannot afford buying a hardcopy.
4. How can I contact the author?

I've lot of hopes & expectations on this book. I've been waiting for its release for a long time. I've sent random mails to & & requesting to have a proper website for this book. I even contacted publisher for any further information but no replies from any one.

If you have any other books that you think will help me. I again repeat, I want to get max possible out of these 2.5 months summer.
