Spotted and purchased this interesting manual on eBay this evening:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/406711470034
This is a UNIX System V User's Manual, or so the cover says. The cover
page inside then says Release 5.0 and June 1982, but no notice about
internal use only. There is no Western Electric logotype at all on the
front cover, whereas other covers I've seen have retained the text but
dropped the Bell System logo due to divestiture.
All in all this has properties between that of the June 1982 and January
1983 manuals, and furthermore the perfect binding is odd. In any case,
when received I'll flip through to see if there are any major
differences worth noting. If nothing else, this shows that there may be
other manuals from the initial release floating around out there in
different binding formats.
