much of what Evi says from an administrator standpoint will apply. That said if you are running V6 get a copy of the Lion's text.
For real synthesis, maje sure your copy is an nth generation xerographic copy😅. Seriously go to Amazon and get the modern reprint.
And, as a matter of interest, is there a book for V6?

Introducing the UNIX System, (c) 1983, ISBN 0-07-045001-3
by Henry McGilton and Rachel Morgan
The book covers V7 and is a general intro to UNIX.
It has one chapter on administration near the end
of the book. It covers very basic stuff:
* setting the date
* startup/shutdown
* users and groups, su command
* file systems (mkfs, mount, umount, fsck, icheck, ncheck)
* adding devices (mknod)
* dump, restor, tar
Overall though this is still a great book on UNIX in general,
even today. Great tutorials on ed, sed, ex, vi, nroff/troff,
and ms macros make it worthwhile to own.
