Yes, it's still books for me...and now, e-books.  I split between Kindle
and PDF - PDF when I can and Kindle if it's only available in that format
and not another format and if the price is substantially lower.  Not only
do I save a lot, but you're right...I'll actually have a back when I
retire, ha ha!

Thanks for mentioning this book.  I saw it and wondered what anyone else
had thought.  Thanks for pointing out the publish date.  Some of the
examples in the official GNU handbook online that another poster in this
group mentioned appear dated as well, but that won't impact me in terms of
the fundamentals.  For the bleeding edge, I will still consult online.  At
this point, I'm working on laying the foundation.

Cheers,

Scott
