> The C Programming Language, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, aka "The White Book" I've always heard it referred to as "K&R".

  Yeah. I've never heard it called "the white book". Also there are a couple of other great books which are white eg Kernighan and Pike "The Unix Programming Environment" and "The practise of programming", and all of TCP/IP Illustrated. In fact pretty much any book I can think of published by Addison and Wesley is white.

    Yes, I've also never heard it being given that nickname either at first. I found it at near-random when looking up "White Book" [0] on Wikipedia. [0]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_book https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_book
