- [Lions’ Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition is a classic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Commentary_on_the_UNIX_Operating_System). A must read for anyone anywhere near code. I absolutely love the picture of Brian Kernighan holding the book, so I am adding it to my memex.

- Speaking of UNIX and history – I love everything Diomidis Spinelis publishes including [this historic list of UNIX research editions](https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-make/blob/master/releases.md).
- and here is Spinellis’ actual [Unix History Repository](https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo) - a treasure!
  - notice [all branches](https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/branches/all)!!
