<p>I checked my bookshelf - my 4.1BSD manuals are the same Bell Labs
printing as the two Worthpoint links below. AFAIK they are a
vanilla printing of the soft copy from the 4.1 BSD tape.</p>
<p>If there is any value to documenting this further, please let me
know.<br>

After the link is a pretty nondescript comb-bound 4.1BSD User's
Manual Volume 2C. I don't think I've seen comb-bound issues prior
to the USENIX 4.2BSD set that introduced the Beastie cover. Does
anyone know if there was a limited run produced by the Berkeley
folks themselves or if this is more likely a one-off someone printed
for themselves? Either way, this is an exciting find for the
completeness of my library, this would leave 3BSD as the only VAX
BSD version I don't have any Volume 2C papers in my bookshelf from.
If this does prove to be issue from Berkeley or someone directly
adjacent to them, the next thing I hope to figure out is if this
has Volume 1 and Volume 2A/2B companions. I find myself curious
because the 4BSD Volume 2C I have was following a plain Jane Version
7 Volume 2A/2B rather than also 4BSD 2A/2B, so whoever curated that
set either got them that way or clobbered V7 and 4BSD docs together
themselves.

mentioned here.
There was a Bell Laboratories printing of the 4.1BSD manuals.

A list of documents included with the distribution can be found in
doc/vmunix/cover*. Below text from 4.1a.tar.gz included in the CSRG
Archives.
July 8, 1981
This is a full distribution kit for the second release of
the Fourth Berkeley software tape, known as 4.1bsd. The
package you received should have contained:
1) Either a 2400' 1600 bpi magnetic tape or two RK07 disk
cartridges containing the basic system software; this
is the bootstrap distribution media. A second 2400'
1600 bpi tape or a third RK07 disk cartridge contains
additional material beyond the basic system on the
first tape (INGRES, source for documents in the
manuals, bit mapped fonts, etc.)
2) Documents titled ``Installing and operating 4.1bsd'',
``Bug fixes and changes in 4.1bsd'', ``Changes to the
kernel in 4.1bsd'', and ``Hints on configuring VAX
systems for UNIX''
3) A two sided copy of volume 1 of the programmer's
manual.
4) A single sided, reproduction-quality copy of Volume 1
of the programmer's manual for the system.
5) A copy of a document describing fsck.
6) A two sided copy of volumes 2a and 2b of the
programmer's manual.
7) A single sided, reproduction-quality, copy of Volume 2c
of the programmer's manual for the system.
8) 2 Vi Reference Cards and a master for reproducing
cards.
9) Three documents describing the Berkeley Network.
10) Two documents on the internals of the Pascal system.
manual and a new table of contents for volume 2c.
