How I love these 90s style book covers, color palettes :)
- userbinator 12y agoI agree, there were more interesting/amusing cover illustrations than the abstract, generic ones on the bulk of compiler and computing books today. That's how the Dragon Book got its name too.

- zerr 12y agoSpeaking about covers, Forth Programmer's Handbook comes to mind :) http://www.amazon.com/Forth-Programmers-Handbook-3rd-Edition/dp/1419675494 http://www.amazon.com/Forth-Programmers-Handbook-3rd-Edition...

- exDM69 12y agoI was (and still am) deeply disappointed when I got my copy of the dragon book and there's no dragon on the cover. That is blasphemy. What next? SICP with no wizards?
- gone35 12y agoAlso the Dinosaur Book[1]. I don't think Silberschatz et al. could have pulled this off if they were starting today. [1] http://galvin.info/2007/03/13/history-of-the-operating-system-concepts-textbooks/ http://galvin.info/2007/03/13/history-of-the-operating-syste...
