Hey all,

I'm looking for an impressive photograph of a bookshelf containing the
Unix man page books. (I remember when I had an AT&T Unix PC it had a
bunch of them. Not sure which weighed more--the PC or the books. Sadly I
no longer possess it.)

In the first week of the OS class I'm teaching, I talk about the
different sections of the Unix manual and I thought it would be fun to
show the students what it was like when you had to read "books". :)

My searching is turning up nothing. Does anyone have one they wouldn't
mind me sharing?
