Fine book for Beginners
I would recommend this book for people who are just beginning to learn HP-UX. Very well written and provides the basic concepts of HP-UX. I would not recommend it for Admins or power users of HP-UX. There are better sources out there for these types of users.

Great guide for non-unix users
As a system administrator for a large site, I bought 20 copies of this book to hand out to my users who want a simple intro with good reference value. My users are engineers who need to know just enough unix to get their job done.

It's only a beginers book
This is book is only good for introduction. Print is very sparce. 309 pages doesn't contain much information. Intelligent use of paper would have made this book 200 page if not much less. In one chapter, describing ls -r command, the system responce of almost five pages is given when only couple of lines of result would have served the purpose. Only chapter "HP Visual User Environment "(17 Pages), has some information particular to HP-UX. Other info can be found in any unix book.
