Very costly

This is a great book and unlike other operating systems books like the dinosaur book, it feels practical. There are tips and suggestions on tools that are very interesting and would help in exploring your installed OS better.
There are code examples too of high quality.
Since the book is already free, I think printing out PDFs would be cheaper than the book itself and moreover the content will have updates too!
