A bit later on but...
I'm prettry sure I managed to read the man pages published as a book while
at Uni, so between '86 and '90. I found it in the University Library.
It was published by Western Electric, and had either a dark blue or black cover.
It also didn't appear to be a particularly recent book, but could just have
been well worn. Possibly about System III, I don't think it was about System V.
However, there were books of System V man pages published, since I bought
some of them.
