You mean like this:

The two large volumes are from the Seventh Edition. Volumes 1-5 are from AT&T System V. 


The rest should be self explanatory.

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?
